You're paying over $4/gallon for gas and $6/gallon for diesel and EVERY single Missouri Republican in Congress voted against ending hostilities with Iran. Is your family ever going to get ahead with these people in charge?

Where is Ann Wagner? She can't run on her 14 year record. She can't run on the economy. She can't talk about what she has done for the district. All these years she counted on gerrymandering and an R next to her name. Now she is in trouble and all she can do is smear me. It won't work.

Every time you see Republican politicians and their corporate donors in Jefferson City attacking or underfunding public education, remember it is an attack on rural Missourians first and foremost! State share of school funding, median district: Rural 41% Town 38% Suburban 32% City 25%

#BREAKING: #SCOTUS once again freezes the lower federal courts’ rulings in the Missouri redistricting case—and affirms that, as the Missouri Supreme Court held earlier this month, Missouri will use the 2022 map in the November elections. There were no public dissents.

Prices for everything are skyrocketing and this is what Republicans are focused on? Stripping hard working Americans of their needed medical care? Why is Ann Wagner silent as Missourians are being attacked on all fronts by Donald Trump? She doesn't care about Missouri, just herself.

The best thing you can do in the face of all these polls showing Democrats ahead is volunteer to go canvas. Canvassing (knocking on doors & talking to voters) is more effective than every other method of Get Out the Vote (GOTV) outreach combined.

Due to Trump's Ann Wagner-approved war in Iran, diesel in Missouri is up to an average of $5.942/gallon and gas is about to cross $4/gallon. Politicians usually only have so much control over prices, but an endless, poorly planned war in Iran is something within the control of the GOP-government.

Missouri’s congressional maps are still unsettled. After Kavanaugh ruled against the Missouri GOP, a federal judge in MO issued a temporary restraining order requiring the state, for now, to use the newer HB 1 map instead. We do not yet know which congressional map Missouri will use on November 3.
