Issue Position: Family Values

Issue Position

Helping people has been my passion in life! I am a minister, a missionary who has led mission trips to India, Africa, and Central America, and I serve on the board of my church. I was honored in 2019 with the Freshman Legislator of the Year Award for Defending Religious Liberty, and I am a member of the bipartisan "Preacher Caucus" and the House Conservative Caucus. My wife, Naomi, and I have been married seventeen years, and we have four beautiful daughters. Natalie, Nicole, Sylvia, and Sydney. I served on the Neosho City Council and as mayor of Neosho because I wanted to ensure my community was one in which families could thrive. As a husband and father, family values are not only very important to me -- but they also define who I am.
