10/17/22 Missouri Mondays - Less than 3 weeks to Nov 8 election! Help your Candidates NOW!!
Welcome to another Missouri Mondays!
With less than three weeks before the Nov. 8 election, your progressive candidates need you now! The only way to stop extreme abortion bans, possible criminalization of abortion, attacks on public schools, attacks on local control, voter suppression, and other extreme legislation is to stand up for your rights now!
WHAT YOU CAN DO NOW TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
GET OUT THE VOTE!! We need you to sign up for AT LEAST 2 GOTV SHIFTS. We only have 30 days left before the General Election and our candidates need help getting through their GOTV universes. Follow these links and find the candidate you want to volunteer for.
Unable to canvass? Candidates need donations to counter hundreds of thousands of dollars their opponents are pouring into attack ads, ads that are 100% false. But without sufficient funds, our candidats cannot set the record straight, cannot confront the lies.
Sign up now to volunteer and donate to your candidate before it’s too late.
Jamie Johnson (Platte) Kemp Strickler (Jackson) Keri Ingle (Jackson) Aaron Crossley (Jackson) Adrian Plank (Boone) Doug Mann (Boone) Cindy Berne (St. Charles) Amy Blansit (Greene) Ashley Aune (Platte) Robert Sauls (Clay) Michael Burton (St. Louis County) Crystal Quade (Greene) Betsy Fogle (Greene)
