Head Start plays a pivotal role in communities across #MO05.

That’s why I joined nearly 200 lawmakers in demanding the Trump administration end its assault on this program that countless families and children depend on.

Started the week off right by joining Pipe Fitters Local 533 at the groundbreaking of their new Training Center!

At 7,400 square feet, this facility will equip the next generation of union brothers and sisters with the skills needed to continue building the future of #MO05.

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month!

Throughout the next month, as we celebrate the rich cultures, histories, and contributions of Hispanic communities across #MO05 and our nation, let us also honor the generations whose hard work and leadership continue to strengthen our country.

We all know what day it is, #MO05.

It’s Red Monday!

Looking forward to tonight’s home opener and a big win to start the season.

Let’s go Chiefs!

To all those celebrating in #MO05 and around the world, I want to wish a very happy and sweet new year and a meaningful Rosh Hashanah.

May the year ahead be filled with peace, joy, and new beginnings.

Massive win for Dems, as SCOTUS blocks Missouri GOP’s 7R-1D gerrymander. #MO05 Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D) goes from doomed to safe, and Rep. Ann Wagner’s (R) #MO02 now worth keeping an eye on too.

VICTORY!

Okay now it looks like this is finally, officially over.

The Republican gerrymander in Missouri is blocked, and the old lines - which keeps #MO05 solid blue and puts #MO02 on the map - are official for this November.

Instead, the justices said, Missouri had to use the only congressional map still legally in force: the 6-2 map passed in 2022.

That would save Dem Rep. Emanuel Cleaver in #MO05. It would also make life harder for #MO02 Rep. Ann Wagner, whose district Republicans tried to make redder *again* in HB1.

Welp, fast forward to 2025. Almost as soon as Trump began pushing red states to ram through new gerrymanders, resistance to a 7-1 map in the MO legislature melted away.

GOP Gov. Mike Kehoe intro'd a map that chopped up Kansas City three ways to make #MO05 deep red, and Republicans swiftly said yes.

This will have a major impact on Missouri's House elections. For one, Democratic Rep. Emanuel Cleaver will be a lock to win another term representing #MO05.

For another, this rolls back a GOP attempt to shore up Rep. Ann Wagner in #MO02. She faces Dem Fred Wellman, an Army veteran and podcast host.
