I've always

felt that you really should give back to your community, and I saw this as an opportunity to that I could give back to my community based on my breadth of responsibility in my position at AT&T.

I think the knowledge I had gathered over that time would help bring a moderate voice to Jeff City and help us work on issues that are impacting my neighbors here in Manchester, Valley Park, Twin Oaks, and Fenton.

And I think I could represent them as a candidate and as a legislator with that moderate voice.

And with my breadth of experience, I bring a lot of knowledge to the table, which you don't always see in some of our representatives.

What are people talking to you about?

I found that there's a lot of voters that are concerned about the development of data centers in and around the state.

And I understand their concern.
