The irony is not lost on me that they chose the name Put Missouri First, to protect a gerrymandered map from Washington DC, that our own republican lawmakers would not disclose the author of while in session.
Not to mention they are trying to literally silence the voices of Missourians.

Some people call me radical because I want people to have housing, food, education and healthcare.
But I think intentionally withholding food assistance from your own citizens bc you want to cut their healthcare to further enrich the billionaires sounds like the radical idea

No matter who you voted for, or if you didn’t vote at all, I am running to help improve the lives of all Missourians.
Affordable healthcare, housing, childcare, groceries…. These are priorities I believe we all have, and I will work tirelessly to make those (and more) a reality when I am elected.

That massive capital gains tax cut for the wealthy this session will not help this situation.
