Missouri is in the center of the country and at the center of the battle between the far-right and more moderate people.

 

     In the old days Missouri brought you President Harry Truman and Walter Conkrite.  In the 2006 election, Senator Claire McCaskill won in Missouri, and helped to change the balance of power in the U.S. Senate.  She has already made her mark, investigating conditions in our Veteran’s Hospitals, and taking steps to improve care for those veterans.

 

     In order to win in Missouri you have to win in the rural areas as well as in the cities. 

 

     The Missouri Women’s Leadership Coalition is in a unique position to get out the vote for progressive candidates throughout the state. 

     Our coalition members are mainstream organizations who are community leaders in small towns as well as large cities.  They are already smart women.  MWLC works to hone their skills to be effective grassroots workers.

 

    What happens in Missouri impacts the rest of the country.  It’s worth it to help us change politics, even if you are thousands of miles away.    

 

     What happens in Vegas may stay in Vegas, but as a bell weather state, the politicians Missouri sends to Washington D.C. impact the whole county. 

      In Missouri’s 6th Congressional District, Former Kansas City Mayor Kay Barnes has announced that she will run against Representative Sam Graves.  During her eight years as Mayor of Kansas City, Mayor Barnes provided the leadership to transform the downtown core into a dynamic revitalized city.  We all need her problem solving skills, vision, and ability to work with people on both sides of the aisle in Washington D.C.

 

     We want to be on the ground working to support Mayor Barnes and other progressive women in throughout Missouri.  Please help us with a donation!
