Rights from God.
Power from the People. District 61 deserves a statesman, not another politician.
I’m running for the Missouri House because Missouri needs leaders who work for the people who build this country, not those who profit from the government.

Veteran Leadership for Missouri House District 61
I’ve spent my life building things that last.
First as a United States Marine. Then as a Navy Seabee with deployments in Iraq and missions around the world. Later rebuilding communities after disasters like Hurricane Katrina.
Today I’m a small farmer and business owner in rural Missouri. My wife Kara and I founded Slaphappy Beverage Company LLC, producing hemp-derived products for customers across the country. Through our initiative A Thousand Ripples, we provide free cannabinoid therapies to veterans and cancer patients who need them most.

Three Messages Driving John's Campaign
I will give you straight answers. Not bureaucratic language, not misleading talking points, not decisions hidden behind process. If I vote for something, I will tell you why. If I vote against something, I will tell you why. You deserve to know exactly where I stand and what I am doing in Jefferson City on your behalf.
Constitutional rights do not have an off switch. I will not vote for an unconstitutional bill because my party wants it, because a lobbyist pushed it, or because it sounds good in an election year. The Constitution is not a suggestion. It is the standard. Full stop.
You should not be taxed out of a home you already paid for. You should not watch your tax dollars flow to special interests while your roads and schools go underfunded. If government wants more of your money, it should make that case openly and let you decide — not hide the ask in a shell game.
