I am running as a Democrat for the 2nd Congressional District in the 2024 election to oppose 6-term Republican Congresswoman Ann Wagner.

Our nation is at a crossroads like none other. The future of women’s health and reproductive freedom is on the ballot. Democracy itself is on the ballot. A substantial majority of us in the 2nd District want to protect women and all Americans from the danger posed by the candidacy of Donald Trump who, to borrow Ann Wagner’s previous description of him, is “reprehensible.”
 
Our 2nd Congressional District is the most competitive in Missouri – the only true swing district in the state. And it’s also a rarity nationally: One of a small percentage of Republican-held seats that’s in play despite gerrymandering. With control of the House of Representatives basically a 50-50 proposition, voters in the 2nd District might cast the 218th deciding vote.
 
Here at home, 2nd District residents need and deserve a member of Congress who will fight for the people. That means battling for our residents who were poisoned by the U.S. government during the Manhattan Project, voting for major federal infrastructure programs here and much more that – as a career politician – our incumbent Congresswoman has failed to do.
