Welcome

Dear Friends and Constituents,

The final bell for the first half of the 95th legislative session ended Friday, May 15th. It has been my honor and privilege to represent the 78th District. Thank you for the opportunity.

The learning curve for a new legislator is steep. One is confronted with hundreds of ideas, people, and procedures that must be learned – all in a very short time frame.

One of the most exciting moments this session was the passage of HB 272, the Alzheimer's State Plan, which I was the main co-sponsor. This bill will develop a plan that assesses the impact of the disease and existing services. We worked hard for it's passage, and I'm very pleased that our hard work paid off.

This session was very interesting and educational, and it is an honor and privilege to represent you in Jefferson City. Please call or write if you have questions or concerns. I am here to help and look forward to hearing from you.
