#Spookyseason is upon us. What's more scary, these gas prices or my Halloween costume? 🤯💸🎃

That means transparency, accountability, student safety, academic standards, and compliance with appropriate requirements established by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. Public money should come with public accountability.

And if Missouri continues down the path of sending taxpayer dollars to private schools, I believe those schools should be held to meaningful standards of accountability. If a school takes taxpayer money, taxpayers should have a say in the standards that school must meet.

That can leave the students and communities who depend most on public schools with fewer resources. When I’m elected, I will stand firmly against expanding school voucher programs in Missouri.

I agree with James Talarico when he calls school vouchers “welfare for the wealthy.” Vouchers take taxpayer resources out of our public education system while providing subsidies to families who may already be able to afford private school.

I'm proud to have the endorsement of #Missouri #AFL-CIO. I support prevailing wages, and I'm committed to MO's working families who work everyday to put food on the table and take care of their family's needs.

Education is the foundation on which Missouri's prosperity and security are built. I will support public education and literacy programs, not dismantle them. #missouriteachers #literacymatters #mohd55 #JP55 @casscomodems.bsky.social @mohousedems.bsky.social @missouridemocrats.bsky.social

My thoughts are with everyone affected, including the victims, their families, store employees, first responders, and the entire Pleasant Hill community.

I echo Chief Wright in emphasizing the importance of not speculating on what happened. Let the Pleasant Hill Police Department, Cass County Sheriffs Office, and Missouri State Highway Patrol investigation thoroughly and without interference.

I am grateful to the Pleasant Hill Missouri Police Department for their quick action and communication during today’s tragic situation at the Price Chopper in Pleasant Hill.

My thoughts are with the people affected by this situation in Pleasant Hill. @kmbc9.bsky.social reports that one victim has died at the scene.

Today, as we face conflicts around the world and their global implications, Memorial Day reminds us not only of sacrifice, but also of the responsibility we carry. May we all reflect on those who gave so much so that we might pursue peace in our own time.

Grandpa Ballantyne passed away before I was born, so I never had the opportunity to hear his stories firsthand. But Grandpa Pennell shared with me how tense things were when East Germany built the Berlin Wall. Thankfully, war did not break out at that time, and we lived to see the wall come down.

On this Memorial Day, my thoughts are with my two grandfathers who served in the U.S. Army. Grandpa Ballantyne served in France during World War II, and Grandpa Pennell was stationed in West Germany during the Cold War.

Employees across Mid-Continent Public Library are currently in the process of voting for Union representation. I have not been around for the organizing efforts but I support collective bargaining and as an eligible voter, I have voted yes. Please support our friends and neighbors. #cwa6360

The majority in Jefferson City do not seem to grasp this concept and instead use gimmicks like the tax shift for short-term wins and not long-term solutions. Further kicking the can down the road, and digging a hole that we may not be able to dig ourselves out of. Vote like your kids depend on it.

Missouri and in particular, Cass County needs to be investing in our future infrastructure needs and not scrambling to patch things up when something breaks. The second thing I learned to appreciate from the USAF, something always breaks.

I worked in maintenance in the USAF and if it's one thing I learned to appreciate during my time in the USAF...it's maintenance. Don't believe me? The B-52 has been upgraded to last until the late 2040s...that aircraft will be pushing 100 years old by then.
