Approaching Nov. 3 election, weeks are packed with forums, canvassing and meeting with voters. Voter engagement is core part of public service, so speak up if your candidate isn't doing the work.

Packed room for town hall with Senator Patty Lewis. Voters eager to understand the measures on our full Nov. 3 ballot. @RespectMOVoters
Heads up: It's a full ballot, including 5 statewide measures. Sen. Patty Lewis and I will discuss each of the measures at a Town Hall on Oct. 14, 5:30 pm. Join us, and bring friends!

I treasure Missourians' right to citizen referendum, a right we've held for 100+ yrs. Let's not sit quietly as lawmakers seek to diminish voter voice. It's a Yes on 6.
In my first term in the MO House, one of the most frequent concerns raised by voters: Lawmakers' aggressive moves to overturn what voters had just passed. Amendment 6 is the result.
The support behind Amendment 6 looks like Missouri: Republicans, Democrats, independents, workers, business owners, community leaders, and everyday voters. We may not agree on everything, but we agree that voters should have the final say.

Recently MO State Board of Ed opted to not request additional funding for schools to meet state formula. 88% of MO kids attend public schools: Our pipeline for workforce & talent & biz. Doesn't add up. #MOpublicschools
More than $190 million short for Missouri's public-school formula. $60 million for private school vouchers through MOScholars. These are policy choices with local consequences. What should Missouri fund first? mosba.org/article/2892697 @MASALeaders @MSTA

"Many of the things that we're facing now are the result of just bad decisions being made," President of the Iowa Farmers Union Aaron Lehman says of the elevated costs farmers are facing, including diesel. "We haven't passed a full farm bill for eight years."
Failure to adhere to law and process undermines MO voters' trust in state govt.
No amount of social media posturing by Missouri Republicans can disguise the reality that true election integrity starts with following the law, not crying foul when the nation’s highest court calls your bluff.

With engineered chaos reigning at the top of MO govt, here's an issue that deserves attention: KC hospitals see more patients without insurance — and expect many more thebeaconnews.org/stories/20…
Tragically for Missourians whose priorities are decent-paying jobs, fuel costs and food, our state leaders create election chaos to fit a warped vision of democracy. Voters: We have to stop this.
MO voters may have thoughts on initiative petition processes, but they weren't ready to hand over all the power to lawmakers: Voters push back on proposal to raise bar to pass constitutional amendments. nbcnews.com/politics/2026-el… via @nbcnews

MO Amendment 4 seeks to restrict/wipe out Missourians' abilities to use citizens referendum to achieve policy changes. Amendment 5 is asking voters to hand over control of tax increases to lawmakers for 5 yrs. Any good or service, any $ amount.
Fascinating. All the TV ads snarling about big money campaigns that hurt Missourians; turns out the big $$$ is being spent in GOP races. Look at who funds your candidate's race before you vote!

Here's irony, considering worries about lawmakers' taxing powers: MO voters passed a sales tax cap in 2016 that under Amendment 4, would have failed missouriindependent.com/2026…
A fascinating and unnecessary policy fight: MO Republican predicts fight on sales taxes if Amendment 5 passes. Vote it down, Missouri. stltoday.com/news/local/gove… via @stltoday
