We held a District 7 Town Hall on 10/8 in Springfield. Mr. Burlison's schedule "wouldn't allow him to attend." Young and old alike have so many valid concerns: affordability, ICE, wars, the very security of our democratic processes and rights. We're going to win this. Together. Let's right the ship.

When I was very young my sister and I lived w grandparents. We survived on food stamps. Every family receiving assistance has a story. Many, like mine, have a happy ending. Some may even call mine a success story. Let's focus on creating more success stories rather than tax cuts for the wealthy.

In June, Eric Burlison went to Mexico & Bozeman to attend UFO conferences. Even "believers" called the guy Eric was hanging out with in Mexico a fake. Meanwhile, zero town halls to face & hear the concerns of his constituents. We'll hold an empty seat town hall in July bc people need to be heard.

All funds raised will be used to help organize the District so that we can flip that seat and bring in some real representation to SWMO.

I do not know why MO isn't participating in what could be a great way to capitalize on climate warming solutions. SWMO is losing chicken farms and has a dearth of industry. Encouraging crop rotation to include hemp could provide several meaningful solutions!

Bc why wouldn't we punish of 20% of MO children & 42% of our eligible older folks? They just need to find those boot straps and get jobs. BTW - my family rec'd food stamps when I was little. Education helped me break out of poverty. But they want to gut education.

Jim Jordan being supported for SOH last Fall by Burlison was one of the motivators for my run for Congress this year. I will continue to stress the importance of leadership being held to high standards of ethics because there is indeed a trickle-down effect with attitudes and behaviors.

No surprise he wouldn’t want the Gaetz report to be made public since Jim has a long, documented history of covering up sex assault allegations at Ohio State.

Good afternoon from SWMO, MO-7, the 26th most Conservative District in the nation, which explains my loss last week. Working for better results in '26.
