This week I went to Washington DC with Take BAC Congress. While there I met with fellow MO candidates @joshsmead.bsky.social & Missi Hesketh among those from across the nation. We see the issues plaguing Missourians and we’re looking to change that!

Missouri candidates Missi Hesketh, Josh Smead and Chris Reichard (left to right) sit on the capital stairs in Washington DC and discuss the issues facing everyday Missourians.

#Denmark built so much wind that some blustery hours the turbines out-produce what the whole country is using. When that happens, the extra power doesn’t sit idle. It moves through Denmark’s links into the wider European network and heads to neighbors like Germany, Norway, Sweden. #ActOnClimate

Hello Missouri, Tell me what problems you would like Congress to address most! Your suggestions lead to searching for bills stalled in Congress to support in the next session. Thank you for your input, Chris

I’m hitting the road hard — mostly active on FB, so here’s a BSky update: I’ve joined Take BAC Congress a group with 148 signatories and 92 Congressional Nominees from 40 States — a coalition that can demand accountability in Congress. To join them in DC on Sep 29-30 I’m asking for $2k by Tuesday.

This seat belongs to the people of Missouri, not Ann Wagner. More than 300,000 Missourians demanded the right to vote on this gerrymander. Republicans tried to silence them. Today, the Missouri Supreme Court unanimously told them no. #MO02 #StLouis #Missouri @fpwellman.bsky.social

1 in 3 people. We have an illegal war in Iran, ostracizing allies, destabilizing trade relations, an affordability crisis… I could keep going but the point makes itself. Blind loyalty to a party letter regardless of the outcome will always baffle me.

Last night I won the primary for MO-08 — but this wouldn’t be possible without everyone using their voice and voting. Now the hard part. We need to get the 50% of registered voters and the 20% eligible non-registered citizens to enroll and vote in Nov. Change is possible when we come together!

So much of Mark Twain Forest is in MO-08. Driving across our vast district I have had the opportunity to take in many of the lush, green views that it provides — and protecting them is worth fighting for.

A constituent took the time to mail me their thoughts — passionate, direct, and echoing what I’m hearing from so many across MO-08. “I am a Hardcore Democrat in Perryville …start calling his ass out! Jason is a bareface liar! Get in his face! Go after his ass hard with facts! You have my vote!”

In 2024, Missourians stood up for women’s rights by voting Yes on 3. Now state legislators are trying to overturn the will of the people, intentionally using the same amendment number to confuse and deceive the public. The choice is clear. Vote No on 3. #NoOn3 #Missouri #MO08 #prochoice #vote

Two days ago I posted a list of stalled bills in Congress that would improve our education system. What I didn’t expect was to start coalition building with @bethanymann.bsky.social for MO-03. We’re pulling together for labor, healthcare, education & veterans. #StrongerTogether #SolidarityForever

Current and retired teachers of Missouri, in my research of laws stalled in Congress I have not forgotten you! From raising teachers’ wages to grants — even ending the voucher program and defending the Department of Education, here is a list of bills that I support getting into a policy omnibus.

I served in the Army from 2004-2012. I spent my entire career outside of training in the First Cavalry Division. During that time I deployed to Iraq for three tours — the first 6 months in at 19 years old.

For anyone wondering, I am concerned about climate change. My rural district (MO-08) is already living it — we’re seeing drought conditions, flooding along the rivers, and the eastward shift of Tornado Alley.

At the same time, the immediate reality for working families here is crushing: we have the highest unemployment and poverty rates in Missouri, the lowest median income, hospitals at risk of closing, neglected schools, and family farms sinking under tariffs, trade wars, and skyrocketing input costs.

Hey everyone, this afternoon I start my journey my 100+ mi trip to Rolla and Salem to meet you all and introduce myself. The sad reality is these meetings overlap — silver lining: Rolla’s meeting starts 30 mins sooner, and Salem is just a 30 min drive away. Time is split, but I’m coming.
