OUR PRIORITIES
Bringing Costs Down, Lifting Families Up
Years of negligent tax policies have left local schools, first responders and important public services struggling to survive. While Democrats are committed to lifting the tax burden on those who really need it, Republicans are pushing for tax cuts that disproportionately benefit the ultra-wealthy. House Democrats are focused on the economic policies Missouri families really care about that will improve their lives, such as access to reliable child care, affordable prescription medications and well-funded schools.
SAVING LIVES
Too many Missouri laws endanger the lives and well-being of Missourians. Radical gun reforms pushed by Republicans in the last 20 years have made Missouri the fourth most lethal state for firearm deaths in the country. In the few months since Missouri's abortion ban went into effect, pregnant Missourians have come close to death because they are forbidden from receiving the medical care they need. All too often, our criminal justice system locks people away without tackling the underlying causes of crime, and our state's most vulnerable children find themselves at the whim of social services that Republicans have starved of resources.
​
Missouri House Democrats know that lawmakers have a responsibility to pass policies that save lives.
DEFENDING DEMOCRACY
Strong democracies protect the rights and freedoms of all. But recently freedom for all in Missouri has come under assault from Republican politicians. Over the past several sessions they have introduced bills to censor learning materials in Missouri schools and libraries, infringe our voting rights, decimate the initiative petition process, and discriminate against the LGBTQ community.
House Democrats will protect your civil rights, your constitutional freedoms, and your ability to do your civic duty.
