I’m not here because I love politics. I’m here because I’m tired of watching the powerful treat the rest of us like we’re disposable.

If the people running Missouri politics knew how to win, we wouldn’t be in this mess. Comfortable losing pays too well. Here’s what they’ll never say out loud:

Electoral wins aren’t built in one election cycle. It’s built upon many small successes, movements, born from multiple good candidates, a real party, and investment in year-round organizing. We built a volunteer program of over 10,000 in Missouri, when the state party couldn’t

Anyone who says Trump/Elon aren’t part of the wealthy and powerful who are running our government is just delusional. Read the original tweet, dude.

When Missouri Republicans are parody-quoting the Wagner campaign just to talk about me, it means I’ve already done more damage than most of their consultants ever will. I’m not here to be liked. I’m here to end their grip on this state.

A rare win for working people in a state that usually puts corporations first. The courts did their job. Now imagine if our legislature did theirs. #MOLeg

The fight for workers’ rights isn’t over — it’s burning hotter than ever. May Day reminds us: we organize, we fight, we win. #MayDay

ā€œModerateā€ and ā€œsafeā€ messaging lost Missouri. If you want to win, you have to own your story — and stop apologizing for it.

Is it really ā€˜extreme’ to stand up for affordable healthcare, fair wages, union protections, and a tax code where the wealthy pay their share? That’s not extremism — that’s basic fairness.

You call fair wages, safe workplaces, and the right to organize ā€˜privileges’? Sounds like you’re just upset workers might actually get a fair deal.

I am a small business owner — and I’m not a communist. I just believe workers deserve fair pay and dignity, and that the wealthiest should contribute their fair share instead of rigging the system. That’s not socialism — that’s basic fairness and economic responsibility.

Congressman Alford, Come out, come out, wherever you are! The people were at your office today and you were nowhere to be found. Hiding isn’t leadership Congressman. The people want to know why you are not pushing back against tyranny and the destruction of democracy.

It was an honor to speak at the NWPC gala. I still remember attending my first one in 2023 as an ambassador, and now I get to stand on that stage, share my journey, and reflect on how much I’ve grown and how deeply I love the work we do at MoWPC
