I can’t speak for them but I know my local unions supported democratic candidates. Our local Teamsters endorsed me and I am 100% in support of unions

That’s what I think. He didn’t show up to his online FB chat he was scheduled to have with voters the next day. He’s not worthy to represent us

We agreed to send them to each other and he had my research within hours of the conversation
It’s been a week and I haven’t heard a peep, even with a follow up email 🤷♀️

And now in typical Republican leadership fashion they are once again ignoring the will of the people by trying to eliminate the state income tax and replacing it with sales taxes on services such as haircuts, lawn care, dr visits, dental appointments, car repair, movers, painters, realtors, etc.

Our education, healthcare, roads, and cost of living are what we need lawmakers to be working towards improving. Not focusing their time on hateful bills that no one is even showing up to support. 2/3

Saving a little from the tax regular Missourians pay the least of their income towards isn’t going to help much if the tax that takes the most of their income is going to go up.

If we eliminate revenue from income taxes sales tax will increase to offset the lost revenue which will absolutely affect regular Missourians more than the wealthiest and will only make our tax system more regressive.

Did you know FL has the most regressive state and local tax system in the US? And TN is number 3. Regressive taxes place more of the tax burden on lower and middle income earners than on the wealthiest.

As I’ve said before, eliminating the income tax will help the wealthy and cost middle and lower income families more at the end of the day.
I will be there to ask questions they probably don’t want to answer and I would love to see you there 💙 2/2

It’s time to end sales tax on the food we put on the table every day to feed our families, not save more money for wealthiest in the state 3/3

Cutting income taxes will undoubtedly favor the wealthy as sales taxes will increase to offset the losses in revenue 2/3
