Assistant House Minority Leader, candidate, Lieutenant Governor, missouri, Richard Brown, Warrensburg
Representative Richard Brown (D), Assistant House Minority Leader and announced candidate for Lieutenant Governor in 2024, spoke last night at the Johnson County, Missouri Democratic Club at its meeting in Warrensburg last night.
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.

Mazzie Boyd, State Representative
[July 20, 2023]
Some of you libtards can’t say the same.
[….]
Who? And who?
A Missouri state representative writes stuff like this?
The cruelty is the point. And notoriety, apparently.
Some of the responses:
Demeaning folks with cognitive disabilities and propping up sundown towns all in one little sentence. Good job, girl!
What a gross way to speak to people.
I could not care less about the Jason Aldean song, but I would love to see any elected official who uses slurs like this, which disparage and disrespect individuals with disabilities, voted out of office. Words matter.
This is an incredibly immature post.
As a special education teacher, I can assure you that the government (that you work for!) has deemed “tard” an inappropriate suffix in describing those with specific learning disabilities. Perhaps you should try better representing your country, no matter what “side”you are on. Better yet, why not represent EVERYONE in your state district, as is implied in the name of your position, and don’t take sides at all? I’m glad you’re no representative of mine.
please explain when you use the word “libtard” what are you really saying?
The use of -tard as a suffix for anything you are trying to mock, belittle or use as an insult isn’t cute or clever. It is hateful and cowardly. You represent people who have disabilities. They deserve your respect as much as anyone.
June 26 you have a post about making it your “aim to love as God loves”. Do better
I just want to second this statement. This is sad coming from an elected official who represents all constituents, many who may have disabilities or love those with disabilities. Actually, is any name calling really necessary?
It’s about punching those who have little or no power. The cruelty is the point.
As a person with a child who has disabilities and lives in your state you can kindly GFY. You’re so unbelievably nasty you don’t know the first thing about being a Christian. Horrible, lying christian terrorist propagandist is what you are.
A sitting member of the Missouri House of Representatives calling her constituents, the people that she works for, “libtards”. Quite the power move
The term libtards?? Really glad you’re not my rep.
Rep. Mazzie Boyd (r):
[….] a Republican, represents Worth, Caldwell, Daviess, Grundy, and Harrison counties (District 2) in the Missouri House of Representatives. She was elected to her first two-year term in November 2022.
In addition to her legislative duties, Boyd works as an accounting assistant. Prior to being elected, Boyd served in the White House as an executive assistant to the Director of Presidential Personnel John McEntee under the Trump administration, as well as a war room analyst for Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. She also worked as an intern for U.S. Senator Roy Blunt, and a communications assistant for the Congressional Office of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.
[….]
That explains a lot.
Some of the sponsored legislation in the last session:
HB 224 – (0987H.01I)
Designates the official state rifle
HB 463 – (1254H.01I)
Creates provisions relating to gender transition procedures
HB 498 – (1219H.01I)
Includes businesses that host drag performances in the definition of a sexually oriented business
HB 712 – (1240H.03C)
Establishes the Anti-Red Flag Gun Seizure Act
HB 1159 – (2501H.01I)
Prohibits the state librarian from disbursing funds to libraries that offer obscene materials to children
That explains a lot.
John McEntee (r).
That explains a lot.

Johnson County Democrats held a picnic in a Warrensburg park yesterday. About forty individuals attended, including Democrats from nearby counties.
Johnson County Democratic Committee chair Ray James spoke and introduced other speakers:
Ray James, Chair of the Johnson County Democratic Committee.
Cass County Democrat and Missouri Democratic Party State Committee member Lorree Voight spoke on organizing and voter turnout, particularly in Cass and Johnson Counties:
Loree Voight, Vice Chair of the Cass County Democratic Committee and member of the Missouri Democratic Party State Committee from the 31st Senate District.
Missouri State Democratic Party Vice Chair Yvonne Reeves Chong, from Pulaski County, spoke on voter turnout in rural counties and on running for office:
Yvonne Reeves Chong, Vice Chair of the Missouri Democratic Party.
Former Missouri State Representative Deleta Williams (D) also spoke about her ten years representing the then 121st Legislative District and Johnson County in the General Assembly. The Missouri General Assembly had definitely been more responsive, representative, and productive during that period.
Mike Walbom, from Johnson County, announced he was running as a Democratic Party candidate for the 57th Legislative District in the Missouri General Assembly:
Mike Walbom, Democratic Party candidate for the 57th Legislative District.

Republicans say that Missouri is an anti-abortion state. Prove it by putting abortion rights on the ballot. Or do they know something that we also know…
12:13 PM · May 18, 2023
Some of the responses:
Two things. 1. Any anti abortion referendum is their kryptonite. And 2. They don’t want the people to have any say. So they’ll never allow the abortion issue to ever be settled by popular vote. It’s poisonous to their tyranny.
Republicans in our state legislature don’t really want to hear what voters think. They’ve proved it many times over by ignoring the results of statewide voting and just doing whatever the hell they want anyway.
The elders and elderettes of the Republican Party of Missouri certainly realize that they would be on the losing end of a statewide proposition. Regrettably, they also feel “safe” that they’ll be able to keep the General Assembly because they draw the maps.
They obviously should…but good luck with that!!
They won’t.
I wish they would. I believe we’d get the same result Kansas did.
That’s exactly why they won’t.
All of their legislative policies would be destroyed if they left it to the will of the people. We all know that. That’s why they are trying to create a Fascist state. Wake up MO. We deserve better after 20 years of BS.
They fear the truth and they don’t care what the majority of Missourians want.
“Reproductive rights are human rights”
