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.

Please pray for the victims and their families.

Some of the responses:
Faith without works is dead.
Praying doesn’t seem to work, maybe we should try something else.
Please do something to prevent this from happening again. You weren’t elected for your ability to pray, you were elected to pass laws.
Your prayers mean absolutely NOTHING!!! You are a disgrace!
Prayers do not stop bullets common sense gun laws would be a fresh approach. Your pro birth but post birth children are collateral damage it’s GUNS no matter how many children die
[….]
This is what Dennys answer is to school shootings. 212 mass shootings in our country so far this yr, when will it happen in Mo.? Blame the elected officials who get rich off the NRA to pass laws that favor GUNS over your child’s life.
[….]
No outrage only prayers that don’t stop bullets
[….]
You passed #SAPA which was opposed by law enforcement and would prevent federal authorities from helping when (not if) there’s a school shooting in Missouri. You’ve made it easier to buy guns.
You don’t care about any of these people. Spare is your false prayers.
Log off, Denny.
#moleg
Obviously we’ve been praying for over 20 years. It doesn’t seem to be working because it keeps happening and you all are complicit and choose unfettered access to guns over living, breathing human beings. So you too can STFU.

When you’re brave enough to put your hot takes on the web, but not brave enough to let folks comment […] One of Denny’s constituents tagged him in one of my FB posts just to lure him into a response since he won’t speak to his constituents. Very typical of MO GOP politicians.

GOVERNOR PARSON APPROVES MISSOURI’S CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT BOUNDARIES
[….]
Today, after receiving the legislation from the General Assembly, Governor Mike Parson signed HB 2909 into law, approving the proposed boundaries for Missouri’s eight congressional districts.
[….]
…’This past session, we saw a few individuals’ political posturing obstruct key pieces of priority legislation and promote inefficient and ineffective government. It’s unfortunate so much time and productivity were lost just to receive a map with the same partisan split that was proposed six months ago. These past months could have been better used by county clerks implementing a new map and preparing for upcoming elections’…

HB 2909 – 2022 Missouri Congressional Map [pdf]
St. Louis area detail:
Kansas City area detail:
The Sixth Congressional District goes across the state.
Boone County (Columbia) is split between the Third and Fourth Congressional Districts.
Jackson County and surroundings, well, just take a look at it.
The Fourth Congressional District starts to swallow the Third Congressional District which almost completely swallows the Second Congressional District.
Take a look at Camden County.
