Candidate Information

Ashton Christopher
Chillicothe, Missouri
Current Employer: Department of Corrections

I am an active employee of over 18 years of the Missouri Department of Corrections. I have been fortunate enough to represent state employees on the MCHCP Board of Trustees as an active member since 2020. In 2020, I ran to keep premium costs from raising like they had many years before. I can say that insurance premiums have not raised while serving on the board. I want to continue my agenda of keeping state employee insurance premiums from raising like other health insurance premiums. Pay raises should go towards alleviating the increased cost of living, not go towards the rising costs of insurance premiums. I would like to continue to represent all state employees on the board and be that voice to offer the best coverage we can to all state employees. I will continue to work hard and voice employee opinions and offer valuable feedback to everyone. would appreciate your vote to continue to represent state employees as an active board member on MCHCP Board of Trustees.

Current Employer: MoDOT

I am an 18 year employee of MoDOT that feels my experience would make me an excellent choice to serve on the Board of Trustees as a voice for my fellow employees needs and concerns. Serving on MoDOT's EAC (Employee Advisory Council) has been a great opportunity to understand the diverse situations that face our MoDOT employees state wide. If elected to the Board of Trustees, I will work tirelessly to make sure that our employees voice will be heard and to look out for our employees best interest.
