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.

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.

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.

People are people and sometimes we change our names and addresses…

Women don’t owe the world children.
They don’t owe men babies.
And they don’t owe you an explanation.

For years, Black women have been telling white women to go talk to other white women about voting, speaking up, using their privilege, building community and networks.
The speakers on this call are speaking clearly, and encouragingly about this

Use your privilege for good: Tap into the resources you can access and unleash them to help the VP. Can you get a rally permit? Can you rent a venue? Can you become an influencer online or in your community? Think about all the ways you can use your access to help elect the VP.
Andrea Waner, BA, MPA retweeted
Do the work: It's not enough to just send a donation; host a fundraiser. It's not enough just to vote; join door knocking and phonebanking events every week. It's not enough to support the VP silently; push back on every person who tells you a Black woman can't get elected.
