Missouri State Senator Maggie Nurrenbern (D):

Sen. Maggie Nurrenbern (D): ….It has been a very tough year for Missouri Democrats. But here’s the deal, this is not new to us. And if we’ve learned one thing, it’s how we stand up, fight back, and get organized. This, Missouri Democrats have a long tradition of standing up against the republican bullies. And we’re not gonna stop now.

When republicans tried to strip power from labor unions by forcing down our throats ‘right to work for less,’ What did we do? We stood up, we band together, and we defeated Prop. A. [applause] When republicans refused to give Missourians access to life saving health care through Medicaid expansion Missouri Democrats banded together, passed Medicaid expansion, and you know what? Gave these rural hospitals the lifeline they needed to stay afloat and save lives. [applause] When Missouri republicans took away the right to our very bodily autonomy we gathered together, gathered thousands of signatures all across this state, and we passed Amendment 3 to reclaim our rights. [applause] But the headlines aren’t new to you and they’re not new to me.

We know that here in the Missouri General Assembly that they continue to try and erase you. To erase your voice and your vote….
