“I do this work to save lives. I know what it’s like to live paycheck to paycheck, to be burdened with student and medical debt, and to live day-to-day in St. Louis where poverty is rampant, gun violence is rampant, and our unhoused community suffers daily. We need a champion for policies that prioritizes the needs of the people of Missouri’s 1st directly–and who is relentless in her work to deliver change we can feel. It is my honor to champion that work on behalf of our community.”
