Submitted Biography:  "A 4th generation Missourian, I grew up throughout the St. Louis area, including my formative years in a doublewide at a trailer park.

Key Messages

---

I'm a democrat from a trailer park, who went to war twice, who supports a woman's right to choose, stands with labor, and goes where people feel forgotten.

---

The state where the first kindergarten was started is now nearly dead least in teacher pay and resources...with some schools going only 4 days a week and others requesting teachers serve as bus drivers. We are near the bottom of every educational and crime category. There is only one smoking gun...20 years of inept GOP rule. They're not bad people, just very bad at their jobs.

---

We're fearing the wrong things. Our towns die because of changing job demands and technological influences, not immigration. The best way for Missouri to address the crime rate is by making certain Missouri Highway Patrol Officers stay in Missouri...and not staring into Mexico from the Texas border for purposes of fear mongering and vanity exercises.

About state financial officers (SFO's)

Different states have different names for state financial officers, but they all fall into three groups: treasurers, auditors, and controllers.

Broadly, these officials are responsible for things like auditing other government offices, managing payroll, and overseeing pensions. In some states, certain SFOs are also responsible for investing state retirement and trust funds, meaning they decide where that public money goes.

Because of the role SFOs play in managing public investments, they have been involved in debates over environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG). ESG refers to an investment or corporate governance approach that involves considering the extent to which corporations conform to certain standards related to environmental, social, and corporate governance issues (such as net carbon emission or corporate board diversity goals) and making business and investment decisions that promote those standards.
