It’s been a busy few weeks, so I figured I should compile a list of things that Missouri’s Republican supermajority has done this session to fight inflation and lower costs for Missouri families:
Yep.

For the 19th Senate District in Missouri in 2024:
Stephen Webber (D) [2017 file photo].
Yesterday:
Most people know how proud I am of my hometown. On my worst days in Iraq I used to close my eyes and imagine myself driving around Boone County to visit all my favorite places. Shakespeare’s Pizza, all the soccer fields, the campsites, Murry’s, 9th Street and on and on.
Today I’m announcing that I’m running for the new, open State Senate seat that represents Boone County. I want to make sure that kids in Boone County have the same opportunities growing up that I had, that our communities are safe, the vulnerable are protected, that everyone is welcomed and valued. It’s going to be a long journey (Election Day is in 2024!) but I invite you to come along on it with me. What we have is worth protecting, worth serving and worth growing. Thank you for all your help. Let’s GOOOOOO!
And:
Stephen Webber @s_webber
Politics can be brutal. Politics can rip your heart out.But sometimes you have an amazing day when hundreds of people from all parts of your life take a moment to tell you how much they care about you. And that’s really cool. And I’m gonna cherish that part this time. Thank you

At the Missouri Ethics Commission:
Stephen Webber (D) has previously served in the United States Marine Corps and the Missouri House of Representatives.
In 2016 he unsuccesfully ran for a seat in the Missouri Senate – it was an expensive campaign.
It was that close.
The current 19th Senate District now encompasses Boone County. This will be a different race.

Yestwerday evening:
MaryElizabethColeman @meaccoleman
Some candidates talk about supporting conservative policies during the campaign. I have a real conservative record of protecting our freedom and liberties.
6:02 PM · Jul 22, 2022
There is much hilarity in the responses:
Conservative government is destroying Missouri. We need less of it not more.
Define freedom!
Nope. Not true at all.
Aren’t small government & local control “conservative values”? So why do you support laws to remove local control and tell people they have to follow your religious beliefs?
“I have a real conservative record of restricting, and even erasing, our freedom and liberties.” There, fixed it for you.
And let’s remember that in your world “protecting our freedom and liberties” actually means attacking and actively undermining people’s freedom and liberties. #FuckAbortionBans
You defend only the freedoms you want and the religion you want. This is who you are.
Your record proves you are MAGA GOP intent on destroying Missouri by being against high quality and safe public schools, women’s and minorities rights, and our democracy. No votes for you!
Isn’t your record that of crudely taunting and threatening to take away reproductive rights from Missourians and hanging out with fascists? [….]
Yeah I’m pretty sure I’ve lost freedom and liberties but go off Mary.
Sorry umm what’s this freedom and liberty do you speak of? Because your track record shows that you willfully and deliberately helped make women of Missouri second class citizens.
Protecting who’s freedom and liberties? Please! You’re doing no such thing. This tweet is a lie. Stop lying.
Hey MaryElizabeth? You need to keep your religion to yourself. You have absolutely no respect for the constitution and are so full of yourself that you think you know what is best for other people that you don’t even know.
They consider that a feature, not a bug.
