MO Gov Mike Kehoe is calling a special session to gerrymander the 5th District which encompasses Kansas City. He is specifically violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which bans any voting practice that denies or weakens the power of a racial minority to elect its preferred candidates.

Rep. Caldier has a “pattern” of bullying and abusive behavior. Just like the guy in the White House she wants to copy. Voters in LD 26 know we can’t let another politician bully us. The 26th LD deserves better.

Thinking of the Minneapolis school shooting victims today. What makes this even harder to take is knowing that we do not have to live this way. It's a policy choice. As long as politicians in DC & Columbus prioritize the gun lobby over people – these horrific events will continue.
