Today is a proud day for the ERA and for women across this country. I have been a vocal advocate for the ERA since I was young, and I am honored to see it finally move towards ratification in today's bipartisan vote in the House.
Unfortunately, my opponent does not feel this way. Jason Smith proudly voted no today, and he should truly be ashamed of himself. A vote against the ERA is a vote against women and equality. It’s time for a new leader in Missouri’s 8th that respects the rights of all people to equal treatment under the law.
It’s clear where Rep. Smith stands and who he works for. He doesn’t work for women, the LGBTQ+ community, our animals, our unions, or our families. All I can say is - I’ll see him in November.
