STL is ready for change

  Enough is enough, John.      Our campaign is working hard to get out the vote in communities across St. Louis, and we hear more stories from voters every day—voters who are tired of feeling left behind by our elected officials.      Yesterday, we met Russel, a…

This is OUR moment

    John,     Three years ago, I made a commitment to the people of Missouri’s First District. Three years ago, I decided to take my fight from the streets of Ferguson to the halls of Congress. Do you know why?      After the Ferguson Uprising, and just a few mon…

A message on voter suppression > > >

    John,      It's Cori here with a very important message for you—     We're just 25 DAYS out from our primary election. As we've already seen from Georgia to Kentucky, voter suppression has taken on whole new levels during this pandemic. And while I'm running …

Here’s what will set us free:

  The 4th of July is supposed to celebrate the ideals of freedom and liberty for all, but for many of us that American promise has fallen short. This may be America's birthday, but in 1776, my own ancestors were still enslaved in this country. Just last night I …

Justice for Breonna is justice for us all.
