Not sure why MailChimp insisted on the No on Dirty MO pic still being here but I still stand by it. 🤷🏼‍♂️😂

Ballot Guide: Amendments and Propositions - https://t.co/LwTf9xFl7F

Settled into KC to do some sangin’ this weekend with the boys. Love the KC Irish Festival and always have such a great time in this city. KC friends come say hi if you make it out to the festival! #kcirishfest #kcmo #theweeheavies

I co-sign👇🏽. I worked w/ @ElizabethFuchs before running for office ever crossed our minds. When she lobbied for @PROMOMissouri and I did comms for @aclu_mo, I saw how she navigated a supermajority of Republicans at #MOLEG, kept her values and got things done. #VoteLilly🌈

Trust me - vote for Elizabeth (“Lilly”) Fuchs and you won’t regret it. And share your support with your friends and neighbors. It’s hard to cut through the noise running for state rep at election time - help Elizabeth be heard and seen!

Notably, if elected, she is also likely to be the only gay woman in the Missouri Legislature, at a time when the rights of LGBT folks are particularly threatened by the Republicans in that chamber. They need to hear her voice. 5/x

In addition to her advocacy work, Elizabeth is a social worker, with a deep understanding of the real world impacts of the policies out of Jeff City. She teaches at WashU’s Brown School and coordinates the social work student interns in the Capitol. 4/x

I’ve been so grateful to work alongside her the past 8 years in the Capitol fighting for all the causes we all care so deeply about. She’s a person that can truly be effective there - as a strong voice for justice, but also as a relationship builder for real change. 3/x

As I’m getting ready to say goodbye to this role, I am so hopeful she will be the person stepping in to serve this district, and so grateful she stepped up to run. Elizabeth is incredible, truly. If you’ve been happy with me as your state rep, consider her “leveling up.” 2/x

Vote for @ElizabethFuchs, y’all. Been asked a lot lately about the primary this week. I’ll try to post a longer write up before Tuesday, but for right now just want to give another massive shout out to Elizabeth Fuchs running to take my spot as the next rep for the 80th. 1/x

Apparently they decided to start PQing and prevent Dems from talking on the actual details of the budget because they wanted to spend our limited floor time left today congratulating themselves instead - on the least transparent budget they’ve passed yet. #moleg

Amid his speech of ignorant rhetoric about the “evils of DEI” Rep Richey did get one thing right - “you don’t fight racism with racism.” Exactly, Doug. You fight racism with education, exposure and empathy. You fight racism with diversity, equity and inclusion. #moleg

This “concurrent majority” Rs are pushing for constitutional amendments is simple. They want Republican politicians to be able to gerrymander the vote of the people just like they gerrymander the legislature. They just can’t stand democracy or the will of voters.#moleg

It’s so hard sometimes to listen to Rs like @BenBakerMO lie on the floor over and over again with such inflammatory rhetoric and not be allowed to reply. But sometimes these guys aren’t worth the effort anyway. Voters need to start answering with elections. November is coming…

I’m so proud and grateful to be recognized by the Conservation Federation as a voice for our state’s incredible natural resources. But also… I’m pretty sure this is the coolest award I’ve ever gotten.

.@PeterforMO fails to remove entirely language barring undocumented immigrants from attending public higher education at in-state rates; reads #Bible verses on welcoming strangers: "You have a leader selling bibles to make money," he says. "Maybe read it." #moleg #mogov. .

Apparently Facebook is down for everyone? This must be what they get for taking away Echo VR…

While the Missouri House Republicans are voting to defund cancer screenings, STI testing, and basic healthcare- most of them are in the back of the House shoveling cake in their faces instead of listening to the debate. #LetThemEatCake

Now apply that thinking to the people trying to cross our border for a better life for their families…

In addition to getting rid of permit and age requirements for guns in 2016, Republicans passed a Shoot First law (“stand your ground”). Now when a fight happens at a public event and turns into a shootout and bystanders die, which child shooters were just “standing their ground?”
