Today at noon at the capitol in Jefferson City the Missouri General Assembly started the 2019 legislative session – the 100th in the history of the state.

Before the House was gaveled into session boutonnieres were placed on members’ desks on the House floor.

New members on the House floor greeted friends and family in the side and public galleries:

Representative Keri Ingle (D).

And greeted their colleagues on the House floor:

Representative Kip Kendrick (D).

Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft (r) brought the House to order and led the chamber in the Pledge of Allegiance:

Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft (r).

319 U.S. 624 West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette (No. 591) [1943]

….Symbols of State often convey political ideas, just as religious symbols come to convey theological ones. Associated with many of these symbols are appropriate gestures of acceptance or respect: a salute, a bowed or bared head, a bended knee. A person gets from a symbol the meaning he puts into it, and what is one man’s comfort and inspiration is another’s jest and scorn….

A bowed head:

Representative Bruce Franks, Jr. (D).

Listening to Secretary of State Ashcroft’s (r) remarks – the republican side of the House chamber:

Members were then sworn into the House:

Representative Brandon Ellington (D) – House Minority Whip.

The Democratic minority in both chambers of the General Assembly are “super minorities” – that is, they have little ability to stop or even slow down actions of the majority.

The House Democratic Minority Leader spoke after nominations for Speaker of the House were closed:

Representative Crystal Quade (D) – House Minority Leader.

Representative Elijah Haahr (r) was elected as Speaker of the House:

The newly elected Speaker, escorted to the dais.

After speeches by the Speaker and the Speaker Pro Tem and a series of formalities and resolutions the House adjourned.

A Democrat wins running for an open seat in a legislative district which was previously held by a republican (Gary Cross – term limited out) who was a reliable vote for republican party ideology.

How is that done in a district held by a republican for eight years? Talk to voters. Listen. Knock on doors, a lot of doors. Talk to even more voters. Address their real concerns. Out work the opposition. Repeat. Get out the vote.

Keri Ingle (D) is the Democratic Party candidate in the 35th Legislative District, which includes part of Lee’s Summit in Eastern Jackson County.

This rainy afternoon, in one of those traditions of Missouri politics, Keri Ingle and her campaign held a meet and greet ice cream social with voters in her legislative district in Lee’s Summit.

It was a good crowd on a Sunday afternoon, with the candidate taking the time to greet and talk with everyone in the room.

This is just a small part of the person to person voter outreach. On Saturday Keri Ingle knocked two hundred doors. That’s retail politics.
