@GovParsonMO like his @MissouriGOP counterparts are continuing to put the economy before everyday people, those people being us Missourians.
His words show more concern for jobs then the public health. And now all sessions are closed for 2 weeks in Jeff City.
I agree, jobs and the economy are important, and should always be considered. But what good are jobs if there are no healthy people to fill them.
He doesn’t want people to lose their jobs. So many people have already lost their jobs.
The public’s health and safety come first.
The @MoDemParty did everything they could to put upwards of $86 million in @GovParsonMO hands to do whatever he saw fit.
The @MissouriGOP said no to all of that.
When session resumes in two weeks, they will see the need for more funding, and will try to say it was their idea.
Please don’t be fooled when this happens. Remember, the MO GOP has a supermajority in Jeff City. No matter what ideas the Dems have, without GOP votes it will never pass.
When a crisis hit, our leaders in power failed to act. They put money before Missourians health and safety.
Remember this in November my fellow Missourians. Please. We have the amazing opportunity to flip, not just the 16th House district, but 7 others. If we do this, the supermajority is over, and we will have a fair democracy again.
We need leaders, not reactors. Period. #JamesforMO
I’m running to be your public servant, to put the people and the issues that matter most to you, first. The time for party politics in MO is over. Join #Team16 today and help us #Flip16 and win this open seat! secure.actblue.com/donate/james-f…

Welcome to Night One of our legislative focus week on common sense gun laws here in Missouri. Tonight’s topic will focus on why we need common sense gun legislation here in Missouri.
Please join in and share your opinions as well. Let’s go!
In my opinion, common sense gun laws go towards making our communities, schools, and our state safer, all while respecting the 2nd Amendment and encouraging responsible gun ownership. We Missourians need these for many reasons.
Welcome to day 4 and 5 of our weekly legislative focus over organized labor here in Missouri. Today we will talk about why labor is important to us, and about our strong pro-labor campaign.
As always, join in and share any thoughts and opinions! Lets go!
Organized labor is important to me for several reasons. First, my wife and I have experienced the benefits first hand for almost the past decade.
Knowing that the work you are doing is directly providing for your health insurance, benefits, and retirement, provides security.
I have a personal connection to labor here in KCMO as well. My great grandfather Shackelford was a UAW member who worked at the first Ford plant here in KC.
Being endorsed by the UAW Midwest States CAP means so much for several reasons, especially the family connection.
Welcome to night 3 of our Legislative Focus week on organized labor here in Missouri. Tonight’s topic will cover how I plan to support labor legislatively in Jeff City.
As always, please feel free to share your opinions and thoughts at anytime. Lets go!
Tonight will also be a shorter night compared to others.
In Jeff City, I plan to support any and all measures that will go towards maintaining and strengthening the right of collective bargaining for all our unions.
I also intend on supporting measures that will go towards protecting and strengthening all our workers rights, including workplace safety, benefits, and retirement, those pensions are important!
Welcome to Night One of our new Legislative Focus week! This weeks topic will be about organized labor here in Missouri. My wife and campaign manager, @be_ty_le, and I have been in unions for years, so this one means a lot to us. Tonight we will touch on the benefits of labor!
I fully believe the stronger our Missouri unions are, the stronger our communities will be, the stronger our economy will be, and the stronger our state of Missouri will be. This is because of the many benefits labor unions can bring to their communities.
If you’re a member of a labor union, you can have a better quality of life and a greater peace of mind because of these union benefits:
- collective bargaining
- workplace safety
- higher wages
- better benefits
- a union representative
Welcome to the 5th installment of our Legislative Focus Week on Infrastructure here in Missouri. Today’s topic will be my favorite infrastructure pieces across our state. Today is the first day version of our Legislative Focus and the first to fall on a Sunday. Let’s go!
To start off, let’s start locally here in @KCMO with our KC Streetcar! I’m a huge proponent of public transportation and I’m excited for the Streetcar extension coming soon.
Constructed in the mid-1950’s, Table Rock Lake is a gem here in Missouri. Just as gorgeous as the Ozarks (my opinion), and usually less crowded. A great summer getaway spot for Missourians and tourists alike.
Welcome to Night 4 of our Legislative Focus Week on Infrastructure in Missouri. Tonight’s topic will cover reinvesting in our roads and bridges.
This is a crucial issue in my opinion for our state, and one that has been hard to solve over the years. Please join in the convo!
To start, here’s an article that highlights the needs and attempts to rebuild and improve our roads and highways. It’s time we finally come together to find the best solutions for our roads. showmeinstitute.org/blog/transport…
At the moment, we have two bridge projects in KCMO, the Buck O’Neil Bridge and the I-435 Bridge over the Missouri River.
These projects are great, but there are many more bridges that need repair and improvements across our state.
