Welcome to night 4 of our Legislative Focus week over Fighting Corruption here in Missouri. Tonight’s topic will cover a few ways we can strengthen @CleanMissouri beyond protecting it this November 3rd.

I’d love to hear your thoughts as well, so feel free to comment!

The first way we can strengthen @CleanMissouri is by keeping it the law of the land.

For whatever reason, the @MOHouseGOP & @MoSenateGOP want to overturn the will of you the people, by stripping it of its power with their Amendment 3.

We must vote #NoOn3 this Nov. 3rd.

Another way we can strengthen @CleanMissouri is by ending the @MOHouseGOP supermajority that is trying so hard to overturn it.

We need just 8 GOP-held House districts to flip blue this November 3rd to do just that.

@clairecmc won in 8 GOP-held House districts here in Missouri, and our 16th House District is one of them.

I fully support @CleanMissouri and any other measures that will strengthen our democratic processes.

Missourians deserve a fair and balanced democracy, period.

Strengthening @CleanMissouri will strengthen our democracy here in Missouri. I believe that participating in our democratic processes should be as easy and accessible as possible for all Missourians. The more citizens who participate, the stronger the democracy, in my opinion.

The #moleg must make the voting process as easy as possible, especially this year during a pandemic. We can enhance our mail-in/absentee ballot process, the early voting periods, and we can make Election Day a holiday. City-wide, statewide, and nationwide.

I intend to be a public servant who looks past party politics and focuses on solutions. Missourians deserve a government who puts people first, not their political agendas. @CleanMissouri strengthens our democracy, and we must uphold it on Nov. 3rd by voting #NoOn3

If you believe in a strong democracy where all sides have a seat at the table and all stories are heard, please join #Team16 today and help us #Flip16 blue in 2020. #JamesforMO
