This is Brandon. He is not registered to vote (yet). He doesn’t fully keep up with state/local issues and politics but is very concerned over our infrastructure.

Me too Brandon! Pleasure meeting you today. #JamesforMO #HD16 #Infrastructure 1st #JamesforMO canvassing ...
This is Devin. He is a firefighter and a union member. He and his wife have two children in the public school system. He stands in solidarity and truly cares about MO public education.

Me too! I was raised in public schools and worked in a union for nearly 7 years. #Flip16 🌊 Image
