We're really proud of the work that we've done and the power we're building for 2026.
If you're looking for a way to fight back by lifting people up, we'd love to welcome you to our Blue Missouri community.

I’m the Executive Director of Blue Missouri — a grassroots org designed to help nominees on the ballot in the reddest and most rural districts. We don’t give “endorsements.” We give money.
We fund down ballot Dems — we are the only organization regularly funding rural candidates. bluemissouri.org

It’s us against the billionaires.
They have money. That’s it.
We have the power to stand in their way and throw sand in the gears.
Don’t give them an inch. Let’s see who is stronger.
