I am the grandson of an Anheuser-Busch brewery bottler, son of an early childhood educator, and brother of a UAW member and US Navy sailor. In just a few months, I’ll be stepping into my black job in the Missouri legislature taking the plight of the working class with me.

My grandma turned 84 years old today! She was born 25 years before the Voting Rights Act— In January, she’ll watch me, sworn into the Missouri House of Representatives. Amazing what can happen in the course of a single life. Also, I’m inheriting really good genes.
