My campaign is airing our first television ad. As a first-generation American who worked for years to earn the opportunity to become a citizen, what Joe Biden has done at the border is unacceptable. We need President Donald Trump back in office to secure our border.

I want to thank my family and everyone who gave their time and energy to this campaign. I am humbled to receive the Republican nomination for State Treasurer. It has been such an honor to serve this state since 2023.
Nearly 22 years ago I first stepped foot on

Last night I went to Yuma, AZ, to see the disastrous situation on the border. After seeing it for myself, I can tell you this w/ certainty – we must elect President Trump to finish building the wall, secure the border, and stop the flow of Chinese fentanyl into our country.
It was a humbling experience to have the opportunity to cast a ballot for myself for the first time. I have truly appreciated the opportunity to serve the people of Missouri as Treasurer, and I look forward to continuing to fight for fiscal responsibility.

Woke-DEI is not the answer. It divides us and hyphenates us.
I fought tirelessly to become an American because in this country, work ethic and merit determine advancement.
We do not need DEI to recognize we all come from different backgrounds and we should be respectful of

This is a superb ruling from

By a vote of 6-3, the Supreme Court just ruled that university admissions programs that use affirmative action and other race-based admissions criteria are unconstitutional and violate the 14th Amendment. Roberts wrote the opinion.
Veterans Day honors our U.S. service women and men who died for the cause of freedom. Their heroic sacrifice and the tears and pride of their loved ones remind us that freedom is not free. God bless their memories, and God Bless America.

We were there and saw it all happen. Absolute chaos here.
Education changed my life and has the potential to change the lives of countless Missouri children. I was proud to testify in support of SB727 to expand the MOScholars program that my office administers. Children in Russellville & Republic should be able to use this program.

One of the many reasons I love this country is that if you work hard and save up, you can purchase your own piece of the American Dream. This radical change undermines that very notion by penalizing people for having good credit.
Sadly, this will not change until St. Louis City hires more police officers, pays them more, arrests people who commit crimes instead of letting them run free, and aggressively prosecutes criminals. Criminals need to know there are consequences for committing crimes.

While President Biden and the federal government fail to secure our southern border, the states must stand together. We support Governor Abbott and the State of Texas in their efforts to end the free flow of drugs and illegal immigrants into our country.
Illegal aliens should have ZERO influence in our electoral process.

I am saddened to see protests turn violent in Maryland and California. The outrage does not surprise me. Most immigrants are conservative. They believe in hard work, traditional family values, and education. And they are strongly opposed to CRT/DEI/Woke/Trans ideology.
