Are you tired of our Attorney General’s frivolous lawsuits against our schools, our teachers and our kids? Shouldn’t the AG protect our citizens and not try to harm them? Senate Bill 992 will help our schools to fight back and keep our kids safe.
#Moleg
Should all our public schools put “Charter” in their name so the Attorney General will stop these harmful lawsuits? Charters and private schools have mask mandates they also receive taxpayer dollars and are apparently immune to the AG’s bullying tactics.
#CuttheSchmitt
Just a Friday reminder Eric Schmitt voted for Right to Work and he voted to sell our precious farmland to a Chinese Government backed corporation! He was one of the deciding votes to overturn Governor Nixon’s veto!
It’s Saturday and it’s a beautiful day. Also a good day to remind you that Republicans don’t think women should have the same rights as men. Vote Democratic November 8th like your rights depend on it because they do.

Larry Kudlow on Fox Business 9/23/22: "The new British prime minister, Liz Truss, has laid out a terrific supply-side economic growth plan which looks a lot like the basic thrust of Kevin McCarthy's Commitment to America plan.”
So the Missouri AG sued 9 more school districts today! Shocker still no Charters schools! He did however sue STL CO. Special School Dist. which has some of our most vulnerable kids. Ask your senator to support Senate Bill 992
#CutTheSchmitt
The senate just 3rd read and passed HB 3014 or otherwise known as the supplemental budget bill. This will put 2 billion dollars of federal money in our schools. It will also give a much needed pay raise for our state employees. The vote was 25-7.

After a conversation with Auditor Fitzpatrick I am formally requesting an investigation into Kairos Academies and the Charter School Commision for misappropriation of taxpayer dollars. Any time public dollars are spent there should be accountability!

Eric Schmitt not only allowed 146,000 acres of Missouri farmland to be bought up by Communist China, he voted to let them do it—TWICE.
Missourians deserve so much better than someone who will sell us out to the highest bidder. I will be nobody's senator but yours.
My new ad:
What Schmitt and Fitzpatrick are doing to school districts will cost taxpayers more money. They have no legal authority and it amounts to extortion. They are bullying our kids and schools and putting them at risk. It is disgusting and wrong.

Since Biden shot down the balloon safely does this mean I won’t see all these Republican dudes posing with their Chinese and Russian made assault weapons?
Charters are paying folks to come testify on why they should be able to take money from public schools. Charters are the epitome of taxation without representation and are fleecing taxpayers for profit. Can you imagine the uproar if public schools paid for testimony?

The Governor signed HB 432 which included my amendment that requires public schools to have a clean, private, lockable room that isn’t a bathroom for teachers and students to express breast milk or breast feed.
Missouri doesn’t need more of the same.
I’m running for Governor so the people working extra shifts today can make life better for their kids tomorrow.
Join me and let’s beat the odds, together:
You may have heard St. Louis County Council is considering non partisan elections. I don’t know about you but I would like to know if a politician identifies with the party who tried to overthrow our duly elected Government.
Republicans have had majorities in both the Missouri House and Senate since 2003. Missouri didn't expand medicaid until last month. I don't think there's much mystery who's to blame for those hospitals closing.
Really

Eric Schmitt cast the deciding vote to lift the ban on foreign ownership of Missouri farmland. Now, nearly 400,000 acres of Missouri land are owned by foreign interests, including Communist China, making it harder and harder for family farmers to compete.
Please DO NOT send pictures of your children or anybody else’s children to the state government to bolster the big government Covid database that the attorney general is compiling.
The Attorney General IS from the government, he is NOT here to help.
I like the Second Amendment. What I don't like is people convicted of domestic violence being allowed to buy guns. People who BEAT THEIR SPOUSE shouldn't have DEADLY WEAPONS. Period. This Republican Party has gone too far.
Republicans in the Senate have defeated an amdt to close the Domestic Violence Loophole. This means that in
#MO
, people CONVICTED of domestic abuse can still buy & keep deadly firearms. The Domestic Violence Loophole has & will lead to more murders, especially of women.

MO politicians have allowed foreign countries to buy almost 100K acres of Missouri farmland. This contributes to supply chain problems and is a national security risk. Some in Jeff City are fighting for us though. Thank you,

Republicans were unwilling to discuss children carrying hand guns and voted to keep it legal to sell guns to terrorists in Missouri. There were at least 30 law enforcement officials yesterday at the Cinco De Mayo celebration on Cherokee and there was still gun violence.
