Notice anything about Missouri in relation to surrounding states?

Our minimum wage is higher than 7 states we touch.

Why?

➡️CITIZEN'S INITIATIVE PETITIONS⬅️

In 2018, MO voters overwhelmingly said 'YES' on a citizen's initiative to raise the minimum wage over 4 years.

🧵
🚨Missouri State Legislature wants to make it harder for citizens to put initiatives on the ballot 🚨

Many legislators want to raise the threshold of signatures needed for a proposition to qualify for the ballot.

THIS IS NOT OK.

2/
Citizen's initiatives have allowed Missourians to get-the-work-done in spite of our over-controlling State Government.

✅Contact your State Reps in Missouri and tell them to vote "NO" on any legislation that makes it harder for citizens to put initiatives on the ballot.

My Congressman was appointed Chair of the House Ways and Means Committee...

Allow me to show you what 10 years with @repjasonsmith has done to us.

First, Smith's constituents live under the worst conditions of poverty in the state of Missouri 👇
#WeDeserveBetter
In Smith's district, the second largest farming district in the state, we suffer from extreme food insecurity... and @RepJasonSmith refers to himself as a farmer 🫤

Smith also voted against lower costs of food and fuel.
#WeDeserveBetter
We have very few food banks in our very large, very food-insecure, farming district.

Even though 1 in 5 kids in the 8th district faces food insecurity.

I've never heard @RepJasonSmith even mention it.

Think this guy should be in charge of our country's money?

If you live in an area with ample democratic representation, I suggest "adopting" a Dem County Committee in a rural area.

Donate to them, like & share their posts, and if you live close, join their events (there's strength in numbers!)
#RevitalizeRuralAmerica
#DirtRoadDemocrat
I will share donation links for rural committees in my rural district, but feel free to share links for other rural county committees as well!
This is my Democratic Committee and we could *really* use some financial support so we can join more local events this year and to save funds for 2024 (events, candidate support, and running a county-wide coordinated campaign)

BIG Announcement! 🗣📣

I'm running for Vice Chair of the Missouri Democratic Party! 🤩🥳
My vision is a party that uplifts and builds upon the momentum of our amazing candidates, committees, volunteers, campaign staff, union organizers, activists, and small business owners who have been working toward a stronger democracy across the State for many many years.
I believe we need leadership that sticks it's neck out for those doing the work on the ground; prioritizes getting democratic values and messages onto local radio, newspapers, and digital media; and expands fundraising sources.

Allow me to take you on a tour of the district that I am running to represent; Missouri's 8th Congressional.

Unfortunately it is a depressing tour, but I believe we need to talk about a problem when we want to make it better.
#Missouri #MO8
Missouri's 8th Congressional District covers 28 counties of Southeast Missouri.

2022 redistricting removed Crawford and Washington Counties from the north of the district (added to the 3rd) - noteworthy because their health outcomes are like the 8th, not the 3rd
Poverty rates are higher in the 8th than in any other congressional district; and it's not due to being rural, because the 6th (north MO) doesn't suffer like the 8th does.

Systemic poverty like this is a failure of leadership.
