As the Secretary of State, it is my duty to ensure that our state's economy remains strong and resilient. One key area where we are focusing our efforts is innovation. By investing in cutting-edge technologies and supporting entrepreneurship, we can create new opportunities for Missourians and drive economic growth.
This includes initiatives such as the Missouri Innovation Center, which provides resources and mentorship to startups and small businesses. We are also working with universities and research institutions to develop new products and services that will benefit our state and the nation.
 
            
        As Secretary of State, I am committed to ensuring that our state government is transparent and accountable. This includes protecting the rights of all Missourians, regardless of their background or circumstances.
One way we are achieving this goal is by increasing access to public records and information. We have implemented new digital tools and processes to make it easier for citizens to request and receive information about our state government's activities.
 
            
        As Secretary of State, I believe that education is key to empowering our citizens. That's why we are working to improve access to educational resources and opportunities for all Missourians.
We are also committed to supporting our state's communities by providing funding and resources for local initiatives and projects. This includes programs aimed at promoting literacy, health, and wellness.
