I have asked for a meeting with the CPS Sup't and members of the CPS Board to voice these concerns, hear from them on the process that led to this series of events, and gather information to determine what next steps need to be taken at the legislative level. 2/3 #MOLeg

With just a month to go before Valentine's Day, let's talk kids and hearts! MO House Bill 426 would save lives by ensuring AEDs and trained personnel are in schools so if the worst happens - often during sports - life-saving measures are in place. house.mo.gov/billtracking/b #moleg

Martin Luther King Jr. had a tenacious vision for justice that was contagious and unwavering.
Our country is better because of the life and impact of this great man, and I am hopeful we will continue to reach toward the ideals he fought so hard for.

What a blessing to have these awesome people by my side as we embarked on the 2023 #MOLeg session this week!
I am so fortunate to have them alongside me for this journey!

The 34 of us have the potential to do generational good. To make the world better for the next generation of Missourians. The decisions that get us there may not always be the politically expedient ones, but they will always be the right ones. #moleg

We must care more about the policy than we do the personality.
We must work toward retiring revenge, and not recycling it.
And we must break the cycle of governing by fear and half truths.

Over the next two years, it is my hope that we as a body will spend less time trying to convince Missourians what they should care about and more time listening and understanding what they actually do care about. #moleg

It will be my personal priority to make it easier and cheaper to move through the adoption process in Missouri. Men and women who seek to adopt in our state shouldn’t be butted out by too high a price tag or too many barriers to entry, put up largely by their government. #moleg

I will make it a priority to pass legislation from Senator Coleman to ensure working Missourians who push to gain economic independence don’t have important benefits pulled out from underneath them. Being pro-life means standing for Missouri’s vulnerable populations. #moleg

I will make it a priority of mine this year to pass Senator Gannon’s legislation to extend health care coverage for moms after the birth of their child. Being pro-life means standing strong for kids and their moms. #moleg

It is important for those of us who call ourselves pro-life in this chamber to recognize what exactly that means, and maybe even work to redefine and broaden the term itself. #moleg

A pre-ordination of hundreds, if not thousands of events that have led the 34 of us to this moment.

This is wrong, elitist, and frankly racist.
I am proud to be on the side of parents and kids! ESPECIALLY the ones who don’t have the resources to get the education they deserve without someone sticking up for them!

Wall Street has consolidated into 5 giant banks.

This is the first time Missouri has beaten two straight ranked opponents since the 2009 NCAA Tournament (No. 23 Marquette, No. 3 Memphis).
First time it's happened in regular season since the 2001 Guardians Classic (No. 22 Alabama, No. 9 Iowa).
