As Columbia’s Senator I went to the Columbia Police to ask what I can do to be most helpful at the state level.
They said to make it illegal for children to carry guns in public.
So I prefiled that (SB 922)
I look forward to your vocal support of this LEO requested policy. #MoLeg
This week, our state public safety leadership met with University of Missouri leaders to discuss our ongoing efforts to combat crime in Columbia.
We will not accept crime in Columbia or anywhere else in our state—and our administration is committed to working with local communities to support law enforcement and a safer Missouri.

I'm a nobody, so take it with a grain of salt: There are so many people making decisions solely to cover their own asses. We have to shift to making decisions for the greater good — or we're fucked as a country.

I really love watching a blue dot in the middle of Missouri absolutely crush a mayoral election where an unqualified man spent $256k to get trounced by a liberal woman.

Despicable. As families grieve, Trump should be leading, not lying. We put safety first, drove down close calls, grew Air Traffic Control, and had zero commercial airline crash fatalities out of millions of flights on our watch.
President Trump now oversees the military and the FAA. One of his first acts was to fire and suspend some of the key personnel who helped keep our skies safe. Time for the President to show actual leadership and explain what he will do to prevent this from happening again.
I cannot underscore enough how big the shift in health policy re: public health (and health care) infrastructure will be over the next four years.
I wish I was making it up, but I'm not.

The pandemic illuminated the persistent bias against patients with disabilities, prompting the Biden administration to boost anti- discrimination protections in federal programs. healthjournalism.org/blog/20…

It’s bait.
Donald Trump is about tax cuts for the rich and eliminating abortion access. Crime went up and jobs went down on his watch.
Kamala Harris is actually focused on expanding rights and freedoms and helping working families & the middle class.
Tune out the noise.
I’ve been one of these women. And so have many, many of the women I know and love. Please don’t vote for politicians who continue to strip away basic rights from the women you love. Please.
