Ann Wagner's career is both deep and broad in service to her hometown, state and nation with over 30 years of work in the private sector, community and public service, and the political arena.
The 2nd District has always been home for Ann. It is where she and her husband of over thirty years, Ray, grew up, went to school, raised their children, work, volunteer, and go to church. This community has given her extraordinary opportunities to make a difference.
Budgeting is the most basic responsibility of any institution, whether it is for a family, a business, or government. This has never been truer than today, as our nation's finances are in a grave state.
With a national debt of more than $20 trillion, this is a crisis that threatens the prosperity and opportunity for future generations of Americans.
One of my top priorities as the representative for Missouri's 2nd Congressional district is to rein in Washington spending so that our children and grandchildren are not forced to pick up the tab for Washington's spending binge. We must also prioritize our spending to rebuild our military after years of neglect, fight the opioid epidemic gripping the nation, and care for our veterans who so proudly served our nation. I am eager to work with my colleagues to find a lasting, long term solution for our federal budget that will put an end to out-of-control spending and help secure a hopeful future for coming generations of Americans.
