For me, being a Democrat means always standing up for working families. My record speaks for itself— improving access to affordable healthcare, addressing the senseless gun violence that plagues our community, and ensuring all families have access to high-quality education. I'll always stand with working families, and I hope you'll stand with me in the Democratic Primary on August 4th.

When our sister Teresa was taken from us, our entire family was devastated. It's a story far too many of us share and a pain that never goes away. But I've been determined to work hard to make sure no family has to go through the same thing we did. This includes fighting to keep weapons out of the hands of abusers and violent criminals.

I'm endlessly disgusted by Trump's degrading treatment of women and the harmful policies pushed by Missouri's own MAGA extremists. I will always have your back when Trump's allies in Jefferson City come after our rights and our families.
