I answered his questions for 47 minutes. Here's what happened. It's how we're going to take back Missouri.

Our Newest Intern

We have quite a few high school and college interns.

Yesterday, I was scheduled to talk to a student who had some questions. He's Republican and was planning on interning with our current Attorney General's campaign. But he heard about me, he liked what I was saying, and he wanted to know where I stood on a wide range of issues.

We talked for 47 minutes. I asked maybe two questions that entire time. This was his interview of me.

We didn't agree on everything. He does not support abortion. We talked a lot about privacy rights, the underpinnings of personal freedom, the tragic history of government intervention in medical decisions. He wanted to know my stance on guns. I talked about the training I've gone through, how Missouri used to require training to carry concealed but doesn't anymore, how there's a big difference between growing up respecting guns and buying a handgun when you're a teenager without any training because you fear for your life, and how we can get together from across the political spectrum to take on violent crime. We talked about the economy, why I want to start Missouri's first Civil Rights Division, how the office works. We talked about why I like working with folks I don't always agree with.

But, most importantly, we talked about his community service, how he'll be spending his summer helping folks in need of food, how involved he is at his church.

At the end of the conversation, I asked him how I did and whether he wanted to work with me.

He said, "Do you have debates with the Attorney General?"
"I hope so."
"I can be your practice partner."

This is how we take back Missouri.

Landmark LGBTQIA+ Case!

Unfortunately, our Attorney General was on the wrong side of freedom.

Here was his excuse ([link removed]) after the landmark 6-3 decision:

"In the amicus brief that we joined with other attorneys general, we made a textual argument as it relates to the original meaning of the law, and the Supreme Court has delivered their opinion — Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt believes strongly that every person should be treated with dignity under the law."

I guess that belief wasn't strong enough to resist the urge to sign on to a brief that was entirely voluntary, and it wasn't strong enough to stop him from asking the highest court in America to permit discrimination against LGBTQIA+ Missourians.

When we win this election, you will know exactly where I stand on the issues. I will start a Civil Rights Division to protect Missourians' rights, like many other states already have. I'm the only candidate who has made that commitment.

Given his strong belief, you've got to wonder why our current Attorney General hasn't started that division already.

While a state senator, our current Attorney General refused to vote to end discrimination against LGBTQIA+ Missourians even when many other members of his party did, including our current Governor.

Garbage.

Vote Missouri Updated with
New Ballot Request Form!

We have modernized the absentee and mail-in ballot request form. Changes to Missouri's law are a bit confusing, so we simplified the process and made it possible for you to submit your ballot requests online. Visit VoteMissouri.org ([link removed]) to apply for your absentee or mail-in ballot.

Stay tuned for more projects we're working on to protect our right to vote, especially when it comes to notaries! If you can, consider donating to help us get the word out ([link removed]) and get more folks voting on August 4!
