Another door bites the dust! Walked all over the Northland today meeting more neighbors and supporters. Totals:

- 304 doors knocked
- 11 miles walked
- 5 coffee pots consumed

My feet hurt but I couldn’t be happier after a day full of conversation in District 16! THREAD

I met Barbara. She is from Michigan originally and is a union supporter through and through. Her son Paul worked at the Ford Plant here in town also.

You’ve a home in our campaign! We are all about unions, union employees, and supporting them however we can! #JamesforMO

I had the pleasure of meeting Joe. He told me his top Missouri concerns are public education and gun control. We spoke for over five minutes about our strong public schools here in the Northland. We also agreed that gun legislation needs to be passed to keep our communities safe.

I spoke with Maddie. She is a republican and a small business owner. She is concerned about government regulation over her small business. She also expressed the need to address mental health and make it a priority. Although we are in different parties, we agree on many issues.

I met Dave. He is concerned with representation in Jeff City. He and I agree that Missouri deserves a fair democracy that works for the people, not a political party.

This Disctrict is one of 8 flippable districts that can end the supermajority this year. We can do this Dave!

I know it’s only February but I couldn’t be more excited to be meeting neighbors and learning what matters most to them. Every weekend until November 3rd we will be out meeting more neighbors. Join us! And as always, if able, a donation is always needed/appreciated! #Flip16 🌊
