I just met MO's next Senator, you should too (w/ original images) [View all]

From her campaign stop in Joplin yesterday... Two key take home themes...

1) She talked about the importance of nurses and being a nurse more than I've ever heard from a candidate. Apparently she worked as a nurse for the Salvation Army Residence for Children caring for vulnerable and homeless children. She also volunteered during the pandemic to vaccinate hundreds of Americans.

2) She drove home their campaign theme, "Nobody's Senator but Yours." A focus on governmental ethics, that she'll be your Senator not beholden to lobbyists (no stock trading for congress, Banning corporate PAC $, making congressional schedules public, etc).

And some images of mine from her recent stop in My home town:
