O’Connell Has Your Back
Pro Life
The 2019 MO Abortion ban led to an additional 200 children born each month to troubled lives. Our foster care system lacks the resources to adequately provide for those children. The expensive and adoption process doesn’t work in favor of good families ready and willing to take these children into their lives.
I will work to address these problems and ensure all MO children have the chance at a happy and healthy upbringing.
Pro Education
Education is the cornerstone of opportunity, the pathway to a brighter future for our children. Every child deserves access to quality education regardless of their background.
Our public schools should be rooted in accountability, local control, and empower parents and communities to make the best decisions for their children.
Extremist national politics don’t have a place in our classrooms, and only hinder effective teaching methods and student outcomes. We want to promote innovative teaching methods that value common sense through a balanced and pragmatic approach.
Pro Gun
Every American has the constitutional right to defend their homestead and secure freedom from tyranny.
In 2020, literal jack booted federal agents illegally seized weapons from cars parked at Streets of St. Charles, and our Republican Legislators only worked to help them take more.
This infringement of our constitutional rights by NRA endorsed “constitutional conservatives” is a slap in the face to every American, as they abandoned us when it really mattered.
I was there. I fought for your rights, and I’ll do it again.
Pro Conservation
Missouri forests and streams are so iconic to our state that it was enshrined in the state constitution. There should be no doubt that the water from our faucets and streams are clean and safe.
Deregulating pollution controls leads to disastrous effects that take generations to clean up, impact thousands of lives, and devastate local economies.
Access to water and the associated rights is going to be a defining issue in the next decade. There are current legislative efforts that are putting our iconic state parks, water access and natural resources on the auction block.
Pro Union
Missouri barred public unions from striking in 2005, effectively disarming their ability to fight for their rights.
In the last year alone, Missouri has seen very successful strikes among the Nurses, Auto Workers, Teamsters, and Food Producer unions that won their members higher pay, better healthcare, and safer working conditions.
Our Teachers, Corrections Officers, and First Responders deserve to have their rights restored.
Pro Business
The only way government can truly grow an economy is to create careers, not just low-wage temporary jobs. Instead of trying to attract warehouse jobs that want cheap unskilled labor, we should be incentivizing skilled work that pays well enough to live in this county.
The Amazon Warehouses are a failure by our current legislators to properly grow the economy of our district.
Companies should be incentivized to sponsor employees through nationally recognized certifications and training programs.
Missouri is the intersection of nearly every highway, railroad and waterway in the United States. With a throughly trained, career-ready population manufacturers will seek out Missouri as their new base of operations.
