Representative Richard Brown (D), Assistant House Minority Leader.
Representative Brown (D) spoke in depth about the General Assembly, legislation, and the needs of the people in Missouri. He is optimistic about the prospects for Democratic Party candidates up and down the ticket in the 2024 election cycle, citing the U.S. Senate race, taking back the office of Governor, and additional offices falling into place. Among the issues facing Missouri are access to health care, affordable housing, living wages and economic development, support for public education, and bodily autonomy.
Representative Brown (r) reminded everyone that Republicans have controlled the Missouri General Assembly for over 20 years.
Representative Brown (D) is familiar with Warrensburg as an alumnus of the University of Central Missouri.
He was in St Louis for an event at Ritz Park (which is not the sort of “park” you are picturing in your mind – it is a concrete amphitheater next to Steve’s Hot Dogs). He made a speech and I talked to him afterwards and then asked one of the friends I have in MO state government about him.
He is great and we need to make sure he stays in office.
