Voted for House Bill 145, which closed several kinds of government records under Missouri's Sunshine Law. It closed individually identifiable information about minors held by cities, towns, villages and park boards, and the customer usage and billing records of municipal utilities. It also closed camping and lodging reservation details for public parks and the locations of endangered or imperiled species. Names, billing addresses and service dates for commercial utility accounts stay public. The bill widened the officials who can have their personal information stripped from public records to include prosecutors' employees, court clerks and juvenile officers. It also lets an agency treat a records request as withdrawn if the requester does not pay the fees within 90 days, or 150 days when the fees top $1,000. The Missouri House gave it final approval 107-50 and it became law.

Voted against House Bill 1, which redrew Missouri's eight congressional districts in the middle of the decade, replacing the map the legislature adopted after the 2020 census. Under the act, the new boundaries first apply at the election of the 120th Congress, the November 2026 election. The act repeals the sections holding the previous map, writes the new districts into law county by county, and directs the revisor of statutes to publish the official map. The Missouri House passed it 90-65 and the governor signed it into law.

Voted against House Joint Resolution 3, which would have added the “Protect Missouri Voters” amendment to the Missouri Constitution. Its central change was that a constitutional amendment proposed by initiative petition would have passed only if a majority of voters in every congressional district approved it, on top of the statewide majority required today. It would have barred a committee that spends on statewide ballot measures from knowingly or willfully taking money from a foreign national or a foreign adversary. It would separately have barred any foreign national or foreign adversary from giving to or spending on such a measure at all. A violation would have been a crime carrying up to a year in jail, a fine, or both, prosecuted only by the Attorney General. It would have made petition signature fraud a crime. It would have required at least one public hearing after an initiative petition's signatures were filed and before the measure reached the ballot. It would also have required the full text of an initiative measure to be given to every voter with their ballot. The Missouri House passed it 98-58. It went to Missouri voters as Amendment 4 at the August 4, 2026 primary election, and they rejected it.

Voted against Senate Bill 152, which barred foreign nationals from funding or steering Missouri ballot measure campaigns. A foreign national may not contribute to, spend on, give in-kind support to, solicit money for, or take part in the decisions of a committee working on a ballot measure. Committees must get a written affirmation from anyone giving more than $2,000 that the donor is not a foreign national. A committee found in violation must refund or hand over the money within thirty days, and if it cannot, its directors and officers are personally liable for it. Damages can reach twice the amount, or three times that for a knowing violation. The Attorney General enforces the new sections, and the law switches off the Missouri Ethics Commission's usual complaint process for them. It also gives donors to tax-exempt organizations a right of privacy that limits what the Attorney General may collect or disclose. The Missouri House passed it 94-47 and it became law.

Voted against House Joint Resolution 73, which would repeal the reproductive-freedom right Missouri voters added to the state constitution in 2024. It would allow abortion only for a medical emergency, a fetal anomaly, rape or incest, and only through 12 weeks of pregnancy in cases of rape or incest. It would let the legislature regulate abortion providers and facilities, bar public funding except for a medical emergency, rape or incest, and require consent from both a minor and a parent. It would also ban gender transition surgery, cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers for anyone under 18. The Missouri House passed it 103-51. It takes effect only if Missouri voters approve it; a joint resolution needs no governor's signature.

Voted against House Bill 495, which put the St. Louis police department back under a state Board of Police Commissioners, whose members the governor appoints with the Senate's consent. It requires the city to spend a rising share of its general revenue on the force, reaching 25 percent in 2028. It requires every police agency in Missouri to report an arrested person's citizenship or immigration status to the state. It widened who can be paid for a wrongful conviction by dropping the rule that limited payments to DNA cases, and raised the amount to $179 a day, up to $65,000 a year. It capped jail and prison phone calls at 12 cents a minute, limited the restraint of pregnant and postpartum inmates, and added racial profiling, implicit bias and de-escalation training for new officers. The same act created a street-takeover offense, made organized retail theft a felony, and banned facilities for supervised drug use. It also repealed the rioting offense and the law letting the state bill prisoners for the cost of their incarceration. The Missouri House gave it final approval 113-39 and it became law.
