Brian truly cares about Joplin’s future; the fact that he wants to work on making houses and rent prices more affordable, and make sure to keep the city safe. I am happy we have someone who graduated from Missouri Southern, and has a son in Joplin public schools that is running for City Council.

Brian took time to explain his ideas about Joplin, and you can tell he really loves this city. I plan to vote for Brian in April, mainly because he wants his grandkids to grow up here. That is the kind of person we need to help make decisions for our city.
