Lower costs first—more homes people can actually afford, curb junk fees/surprise bills, and speed permits so small businesses grow. Care with mental health built in—stabilize 988 and mobile crisis; cut wasteful red tape. ​ Public safety you can trust—hire/keep the best, proven training & crisis response, universal background checks most Missourians support. ​ Schools focused on learning—phone‑free classrooms, stronger reading/math & media literacy, more CTE.
