Kelly believes it is vital we elect individuals who possess the experience and strength that is necessary to represent our common values. As a legislator in Jefferson City, Kelly will work to create more quality jobs that will put Missourians back to work.

She will work to restore the loss services from the healthcare cuts of 2005 at no additional cost to Missouri taxpayers.

Kelly will work to ensure that our children are able to receive a world-class education.
