They deserve fair wages and safe working conditions as they step up to support our city, especially after hazardous events & weather. I've got their back. #unions #garnerformo #moleg

KC has one of the best library systems around. 📚 I loved spending time with Abby and Courtney from KCPL. They're doing incredible work for our community! Fun fact: Abby was my husband Jacob's middle and high school librarian. #libraries #kansascity #kcmo #moleg

I met with members of the AFT#691 and am honored to have their endorsement. As a former educator & spouse of a public school teacher, I can't say enough about how deserving our school personnel are of our support.

#KansasCity folks, hope to see you on Feb. 12th as we kickoff our campaign for the state house.

I’m running for state house in Missouri’s 24th District. After 20 years of one-party control in Jefferson City, it’s time for a change. Grateful for Rep. Emily Weber’s service and proud to support her run for City Council. 🎥 Watch the announcement 💙 Donate: tinyurl.com/2ydhsar6 📣 Follow & share

Things are heavy right now. But know that there is a lot of good happening in our communities. - Southmoreland Neighborhood Association discussed traffic calming - Toured Kanbe's Markets warehouse in Midtown. They are addressing food insecurity. You can volunteeer to help sort food

The capital gains tax cut passed this year by Missouri lawmakers will cost far more than expected and shrink state revenues, a new state budget estimate shows.(@missouriindependent.com)

The Midtown KC Democrats first winter social was a big success. 40 people including first timers enjoyed the season together and gear up for next year. When a small group of us planned this, we had high hopes but expectations have been surpassed. This group is going to do great things in 2026.

This week marks 1 year until the 2026 Midterms! Join us tomorrow & hear from some of our best opportunities to flip seats Red to Blue, including our next state senator Keri Ingle! hear an update on stopping the gerrymandering effort, and enjoy the chili provided by our hosts at Plumber’s Local 8!

Join me, Rep. Emily Weber, Rep. Melissa Douglas, and Rep. Pattie Mansur this Saturday to sign the anti-gerrymandering petition and drop off food for Harvesters.

Voters 4 & 5 at our location this morning. Just one issue on the ballot. This will be the last time we have to do this this year, so make your voice heard, Jackson County

The Labor Management Council of Greater Kansas City & BOMA put on another well-ran Public Officials Reception. The event brought together more than 175 public officials, labor, and businesses for a no-agenda gathering. Thanks to Bob Jacobi for leading the effort.

Get you a group of colleagues who become friends and enjoy gathering for some food, a drink, and to talk about ways that we can improve our communities. Very grateful.

ICYMI Last night: As few as 5% of voters could defeat initiative petitions under Missouri GOP legislation #moleg #mogov

Only 90% of Missouri kindergarten students were immunized against measles, mumps and rubella last year, according to the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services. Some counties have rates as low as 75%. (@missouriindependent.com)

Glad I got to see my honorary Governor Tim Waltz who respects the will of his voters and the constitution as compared to Gov. Kehoe who would rather protect the Epstein files along with his Republican pals

Only months after paid sick leave went into effect in Missouri, it ended. A workers' group wants to put the benefit before voters again as a constitutional amendment, which Republican lawmakers have vowed to fight.

NEW: Hundreds of workers and civil rights leaders rallied in Kansas City last night to protest Republican redistricting efforts. Residents of the 5th District say that redrawing Missouri's maps will strip minorities and low-income people of their voting rights.

There are fewer more genuine public servants than Rep. Kemp Strickler. He has represented Lee’s Summit well and deserves to be sent back to the state house. Packed room for his kickoff. Find out more: www.kempstrickler.com

Kansas City will compost hundreds of thousands of tons of food waste for use on gardens and to grow food. Kansas Citians can now bring their food scraps to one of 50 bins around the city. https://loom.ly/7a7TRrg

Hey #KansasCity peeps, if you have a moment (and especially if you love libraries!), help the @kclibrary.bsky.social plan for the future by taking this survey: kclibrary.org/strategic-planning

Many of us are feeling a differentt kind of way this Fourth of July as the President and his servants in congress and the courts are doing everything they can to rip away the fabric of this country.

My statement on Donald Trump’s unilateral military action in Iran.

Trump has been in office for five months and we have masked men disappearing people in the streets, our social safety net has been dismantled, the federal government is anti-vax, and we’re bombing Iran. Tell me some more about how there was no difference between the two parties.

Kansas City turned out in support of @kcur.org, public media, and a free press. Another incredible record-setting RadioActive. Become a monthly donor or support how you can!

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Great to have @crystalquademo.bsky.social & @respectmovoters.org in the KC area to discuss plans that require our legislature to uphold the will of the voters. Be sure to follow them!

BREAKING: #MOLeg politicians just voted to overturn the will of the people and put a Constitutional Amendment banning abortion on Missouri's ballot with HJR 73. #EndTheBanMO

Missouri Republicans just axed countless construction jobs across Missouri by canceling projects like a new research reactor at MU, National Guard facilities throughout the state, a rural hospital in Salem, and much, much more. Good projects. Good jobs. All gone. #moleg

So glad to have Sen. Patty Lewis as my state senator and starting the filibuster against an attempt to ignore the will of the voters and once again, ban nearly all abortion healthcare in Missouri. Keep standing senator & Missouri Senate Democrats.

So @missourisenatedems.bsky.social filibuster attempts to repeal paid sick leave, increase the minimum wage, and uphold abortion rights - all approved by voters, while Sen. Mary Elizabeth Coleman & the Senate Republicans filibuster…checks notes…child care tax credits…#moleg

It's Monday! That means at 6pm we have our weekly volunteer call, which is a great way to learn more about what we're working on and what we need help with. There is probably something that YOU would be really good at - join us tonight and find out! actionnetwork.org/forms/attend...

Had fun last night at PROMO Missouri’s “We’re Queer and We Live Here!” in the River Market with @kevintgarnermo.bsky.social and IBEW Local 124’s Press Secretary Pete Raya Jr.!

KCUR invited Congress members from Kansas and Missouri to answer questions from their constituents about what's happening in Washington. Despite multiple invitations to each of the area’s federal elected officials, just two answered - and no Republicans agreed to attend. Here's what we heard.

It’s 10 pm and so proud that my state senator, Patty Lewis, is helping hold the floor to stand up for fair wages, paid sick leave, and the will of the majority of Missouri voters who passed Prop A! #moleg

The Southmoreland Neighborhood Association meeting was a full room of engaged folks. They’re finding ways to make new neighbors feel welcome & events to grow community!

Continuing our tradition of voting together! Two more votes for the KCPS school bond!

The bill's official cost estimate puts the cost of the capital gains tax cut at roughly $111 million annually. But federal tax data from 2022 suggests it may actually reduce state revenues by $600 million. #moleg #mogov via @rudikellermi.bsky.social

Great turnout for Rep. Mansur and Rep. Douglas townhall. Residents, organizational leaders, labor leaders, and more showed up. Appreciate all these two leaders to advocate for working families and the forgotten!

Happy Opening Day for all who celebrate!

More than 40 people at Scott & Rhonda Burnett’s house this weekend to learn about voting yes on the KC Public School bond!

Our West Plaza Neighborhood Association hosted the Yes on Kids campaign in support of the April 8 bond and unveiled initial plans for a more accessible Westwood Park. Love my neighborhood.

Chilly weather didn’t stop hundreds of people from showing up in solidarity with @nteu66.bsky.social & civil servants who have been unjustly let go by President Musk and Trump.

Get you a spouse who writes postcards to voters to support the KCPS Go Bond that is essential for our local schools!
