Priority Issues:

As a Representative and Senator, Will has focused on implementing real solutions for Missouri's problems. Will states, "I believe providing our children with a quality education should be the state's number one priority." He will continue to fight for more education funding for our schools. A strong defender of our children, Will led an effort to strengthen child sex offender laws.

Moreover, Will wants to make sure our taxes are used for the purposes that they were intended. He will fight for accountability in our government and fight to cut waste. Another priority of his is to bring jobs and economic development to our area. He wants to encourage new business and will work hard to ensure we attract high quality jobs with great pay and benefits to Eastern Jackson County.

Will sponsored and passed legislation to provide a state income tax exemption on military retirement pay. In addition, he works to find solutions to help seniors such as freezing property tax increases on seniors with fixed incomes.

Will is constantly looking out for Missouri voters. He sponsored legislation to make it easier for deployed military to vote, and he is also leading the efforts to pass a voter identification law in Missouri.

In everything that he does, Will brings sound conservative principles and a dedication to ethical standards of legislative conduct.
