@chansley @MinMaz I love this!

[Wendy Doyle @WendyDDoyle]

Thank you @GovMikeKehoe for lifting up @UnitedWeEmpower research and making the childcare crisis a priority in Missouri. Let’s get to work to reduce the licensing barriers so parents do not have to choose between work and family.

[Wendy Doyle @WendyDDoyle]

The @usmayors held its summer meeting in Kansas City this past weekend. I was honored to join Mayor @QuintonLucasKC and @JessicaBerman1, Commissioner of @NWSL, to introduce the participants of a fireside chat. It was an impactful evening discussing women's sports teams.

[Missourians for Healthy Families & Fair Wages @mohealthyfam]

Last night, our campaign was awarded at the NAACP St. Louis County 87th Annual Freedom Fund Dinner! Thank you to everyone who volunteered & signed the Missourians for Healthy Families & Fair Wages petition. We're one step closer to bringing #PaidSickDays & #RaisingTheWage!

[Mayor Q @QuintonLucasKC]

A good planning day for the upcoming @usmayors Conference, which will bring hundreds of mayors and hundreds more staff and vendors to see our growing city in a few weeks.

A great time to be in Kansas City!

Delighted to welcome my peers from around the country to see why.

[Emily Manley @EmilyManleyTV]

Missourians for Healthy Families & Fair Wages is dropping off more than 210,000 signatures to the @MissouriSOS’s office to ask voters later this year if all workers should receive paid sick leave and increase minimum wage to $13.75 starting in January and then $15 in 2026. #moleg

“You gotta see it to be it.”

I sat down with the three Black mayors of KC @repcleaver, @MayorSlyJames, and @QuintonLucasKC.

While they share their biggest accomplishments and challenges, they also hope children see how important representation is. @KCTV5 #BlackHistoryMonth
