With the carbon footprint of English schools already tipping 9.4m tonnes CO2, many campaigns to "green" schools are already underway. But reducing carbon is not the only goal. School buildings, food, waste – even school has been one of the greatest honors and privileges of my life to serve the great people of District 14 and the State of Missouri as a state representative. I am grateful to the District 14 residents in Kansas City’s Northland who gave me this opportunity. I’m proud of the things we accomplished during my time in office, including, for example, improving our criminal and civil justice systems, being a champion for Northland students and obtaining more state money for schools, advocating for a better transportation system, and giving Missourians the opportunity to obtain REAL ID-compliant driver’s licenses, so they won’t have to get a passport to visit loved ones at military bases or to fly domestically on airplanes.

As an attorney, however, I represent and advocate for clients in a variety of settings, including, for instance, in contractual negotiations, in the courtroom, and in front of should all support a connection to, and appreciation for, the environment.
