My name is Connie Simmons. I grew up in the Holden area. My father, Leo Decker was a lifelong Carpenters Local 61 member and my  mom, Pauline, worked at Wal-Mart in Warrensburg as the number one checker. I met my husband of 37 years the week before I started college at Central Missouri State University. I and my husband, Fred Simmons, have two children. The oldest is Matthew, who is married to his high school sweetheart, Vanessa. They have two children, Tristan and Coretta.  Our youngest, Elizabeth, is married to Jeremy Ferguson and she is currently working on her PHD.
   I'm a Christian, retired school counselor, and a wife, mother and grandmother. 
​My background has led me to believe in the importance of public education, health care, Union support, public servants, and family farms.
