My grassroots campaign is going to need all the help we can get to ensure we can reach EVERY voter in the 130th and how much money we raise today will send a strong message that people are ready for change. I sure would appreciate your support ⬇️

Today is my campaign kickoff! Though I never quit campaigning after the last election, it is time to go into hyperdrive once again so we can flip this seat…

I am one of those people and I sure would appreciate your help getting to Jefferson City so I can help work on making positive changes in this state. We are so close to our quarterly goal to help me get there. Can you pitch in before the quarter ends at midnight?

It's time to move Missouri forward.

βœ”οΈFully funded public schools
βœ”οΈ Accessible & affordable healthcare
βœ”οΈ A fair tax system that doesn't favor those on top
βœ”οΈ A legislature that respects the will of the voters

We can make it happen if we elect enough of the right people who want to get it done.

It must be done in person so you will need to find one circulating in your area. I recommend asking your local Democrat organizations or the organizations behind the petitionsthemselves

Just a periodic reminder that Missouri has 4 vacant house seats that (to my knowledge) the governor has yet to call special elections for.

To be exact, he took $51 million from our public schools to subsidize private school tuition for mostly wealthy families who already could afford tuition. This was never about helping low income families.

Judge orders ballot summary, fair ballot language rewritten for amendment to ban abortion again A Cole County circuit judge ruled Friday that the ballot summary and fair ballot language for HJR 73 were insufficient and unfair. The measure could ban abortion again in Missouri.

β€œGreen's Friday ruling stated the summary statement fails to notify voters that the proposed amendment would eliminate the article in the constitution that Missouri voters approved in November, enshrining the right to an abortion. Green's ruling said the same about the fair ballot language.”

Does redistricting the maps in the middle of the decade help with our grocery bills? Help with the cost of our healthcare? Help with our schools?

A reminder that the taxpayers paid EXTRA this year for the session that brought this about. It has been a mess from the beginning.

I’m saying Missouri lawmakers are ignoring the Missouri state constitution when it comes to redistricting. We will see what the courts say

Hey Missouri! We still have the courts, and we still have a chance to get these unconstitutional maps on the ballot in front of the voters to decide for ourselves.

Maybe if they weren’t undoing our votes all the time we wouldn’t feel the need to have to go this route so often to preserve them πŸ€”

Because Republican lawmakers undo our votes. Constantly. By making changes to the constitution, these things come back to the voters to undo, rather than just the lawmakers.

The MO GOP thinks citizen led attempts to change the state constitution should be a higher threshold to pass than a simple majority bc we use it too much.

You know why we use it?

The MO GOP is making it very clear they do not care about the voices of the people. In fact, they want to make it harder for us, but not for them.
