I tried. Gave it my all. Held her hand while she whimpered; but in the end, the masses decided, democracy would fall.

The dark blue area shows where there is a confirmed Democratic choice on the ballot for the Missouri State House in 2024 (in SE MO).

The other areas don't have a Democratic candidate filed to run yet.

What are you waiting for?

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.

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.

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!

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.

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
