Democrat, missouri, Trudy Busch Valentine

Now that’s what I call a Democrat.

Trudy Busch Valentine (D).

An email, sent today to Trudy Busch Valentine’s supporters:

Thank you, Missouri

As I traveled the state campaigning for U.S. Senate, I promised people everywhere that I would always be open and honest and that they would always know where I stand on issues that matter. And even though I am no longer a candidate for public office, that’s still a promise I will keep.

For me, the holidays have always been a time to reflect on the people and things I am most grateful for in my life. But this year especially, and now that the dust has settled a bit, I’ve been giving considerable thought to our campaign and the issues we ran on – and what it means for the future of Missouri.

To the people who voted for me – and even the people who didn’t – I think it’s easy sometimes to look at the results and feel defeated and hopeless. Like your voices weren’t heard or don’t matter. Like it’s somehow impossible to win in what’s become a frustratingly red state when in reality, it’s the Democrats who continue to deliver solutions for the American people.

Trust me, this isn’t the outcome my team and I wanted – and it hasn’t always been easy to accept. We were keenly aware of the obstacles we were up against. But to me, success doesn’t only have to mean winning your individual race. Together, we made progress for Missouri and accomplished a lot for which we should feel proud.

For instance, our campaign helped flip multiple legislative seats by working closely with down-ballot candidates across the state. We built a diverse coalition of support across party, racial, and socioeconomic lines that helped us outperform previous statewide Democratic candidates, including President Biden, in nearly every county. We implemented an aggressive field strategy that resulted in direct contact with hundreds of thousands of voters. And we raised awareness about critical issues like a woman’s freedom to choose, foreign ownership of American farmland, lowering the costs of basic necessities like healthcare and prescription drugs, and increasing access to mental healthcare and addiction treatment.

I strongly believe that these things matter. These are tangible results that we can point to today to help establish a foundation and framework for another candidate and their campaign tomorrow. I still see plenty of reasons to feel hopeful because lasting, meaningful change doesn’t happen overnight or in a single election. It takes considerable time, effort, and resources – and a steadfast commitment to showing up and doing all the unglamourous work that’s required of us to build a stronger, safer, more inclusive Missouri for everyone.

That means we must continue to hold our elected leaders accountable for their words and their actions. That means we must continue to call out bigotry, racism, homophobia, and all forms of discrimination without hesitation. That means we must continue to reject extremism on both sides of the aisle. That means we must continue to put partisan politics aside and put people first. That means we must continue to stand up for our basic civil liberties and freedoms. And without question, that means we must continue to defend and protect our democracy with everything we’ve got.

And in case there is any doubt, no, I’m not giving up on these worthy fights. As a nurse, widowed mother of six, and a grandmother, I ran for U.S. Senate to listen to people and to open my heart and mind to their challenges and struggles to try and make a difference. And it was the greatest honor of my life. I remain in awe of the resounding message nearly one million Missourians sent with their votes on Election Day. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You taught me so much and trusted me to carry forward your hopes, fears, and dreams. For that, I’ll be forever grateful.

Because of you, we chose truth over fear. We chose compassion over hate. We chose acceptance over intolerance. We chose integrity over dishonesty. And we chose unity over division. That’s the Missouri I know and love and have been proud to call home my entire life. And that’s the Missouri I know we can be.

Thank you,
Trudy

Excellent.

Classy

missouri, Trudy Busch Valentine, U.S. Senate

An email sent to supporters by Trudy Busch Valentine (D):

Hi [….], it’s Trudy. Now that votes have been counted and the dust has settled, I want to take a moment to personally thank you.

Even though we came up short Tuesday, that doesn’t make the work that we did any less meaningful. One supporter, one donation, one dollar at a time, we built a movement of people who believe in compassion, honest leadership, and a better future for the people of Missouri.

Being your nominee has been the greatest honor of my life. Thank you for standing with me, for supporting this campaign, and for all that you’ve done to help choose decency over extremism.

I know that this loss is hard. And I know that thinking about what the future might hold is scary. But underneath all the fear, disappointment, and anger, I have so much hope, [….].

Watching this team build a top-tier U.S. campaign from the ground up has shown me the power of passionate, open-hearted people like you. Trust me on this: Even though we hear a lot about the greed, hatred, and division hurting our country, there is so much more kindness, empathy, and integrity. I’ve seen it in the communities I’ve traveled to on this campaign, the voters I’ve met, and every single member of this grassroots team.

I will always be grateful for how you stood beside this campaign and believed in our movement. Together, we showed the cynics, the partisans, and pundits that kindness is something worth fighting for.

I have only one more thing to ask of you: Please, please never give up that fight for a kinder, brighter future. Together, I know that we will win. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

With humility, incredible gratitude, and love,

Trudy

Emanuel Cleaver, Gladstone, GOTV, missouri, organized labor, rally, Teamsters, Trudy Busch Valentine, U.S. Senate

On Saturday afternoon Representative Emanuel Cleaver (D) and Trudy Busch Valentine (D) spoke at a get out the vote rally outdoors at the Clay County Democratic Party headquarters in Gladstone, Missouri. This was the third or fourth campaign appearance of the day for Trudy Busch Valentine in the Kansas City metro area

Teamsters!

Yes, it was a union crowd.

Trudy Busch Valentine (D).

The elephant in the womb:

A significant number of women in attendance were wearing progressive and pro-choice tee shirts.

This candidate is enjoying the experience:

Both Representative Cleaver and Busch Valentine spoke at the rally.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D).

As in all of her campaign events, people in the crowd waited after its conclusion to speak with and personally greet Trudy Busch Valentine.

A number of women hugged her.

It’s retail politics. This grassroots politicking clearly energizes the candidate and her campaign.

Somebody should give Eric Schmitt (r) a hug.

…This election is about an individual’s access to health care and their bodily autonomy. Yes, abortion is a personal choice. It’s about access to public education. It’s about access to good jobs and a living wage. It’s about access to affordable housing. It’s about the future of Social Security and Medicare and the ability of our citizens to spend their later years living with some measure of dignity and comfort… And it’s about cutting the cost of essential medication for those who need it to survive. It’s about the survival of Democracy and the ability of people to participate with their vote. It’s for the future.

Kansas City, missouri, Southwest Boulevard, Trudy Busch Valentine, U.S. Senate

Trudy Busch Valentine (D) returned to Kansas City yesterday. In the evening she met with voters at a campaign event at La Fonda on Southwest Boulevard.

Listening:

An introduction by Ramona Farris:

Kansas City in October:

Health care and bodily autonomy. Abortion is a personal choice. Access to a good public education. Access to good jobs and a living wage. Access to affordable housing. The future of Social Security and Medicare and living with some measure of dignity and comfort. They are all on the table.

One older gentleman, seeing my media ID, asked me, “What do you think about abortion?” He continued, “It’s none of my business for anyone else. It should be up to the individual. Not the government.”

Kansas City, missouri, Trudy Busch Valentine, U.S. Senate

Trudy Busch Valentine (D) returned to Kansas City today to campaign with her trademark enthusiasm for retail politics. Early this evening she met with voters at a meet and greet event held in a meeting space at the Gregg/Klice Community Center next to the 18th and Vine Jazz District.

This election is about an individual’s access to health care and their bodily autonomy. Yes, abortion is a personal choice. It’s about access to public education. It’s about access to good jobs and a living wage. It’s about access to affordable housing. It’s about the future of Social Security and Medicare and the ability of our citizens to spend their later years living with some measure of dignity and comfort.

If you don’t believe in any of that then just go ahead and vote for Eric Schmitt (r). You’ll richly deserve the results.

There is a difference.

Trudy Busch Valentine (D) – Kansas City

Trudy Busch Valentine (D) succintly presented the stakes in this upcoming election.

As always, Valentine then spent time answering questions from the voters in attendance and listening to their concerns.

Listening to and answering questions.

And, as always, anyone who wants spend some time talking one-on-one with Trudy Busch Valentine (D) at these events actually gets to do so.

missouri, Nevada, Trudy Busch Valentine, U.S. Senate

Every town is unique.

Nevada, Missouri.

Trudy Busch Valentine (D) continued her grassroots oriented campaigning for the open U.S. Senate seat yesterday with a late morning stop on her RV tour through small town Missouri. Vernon County Democrats and other interested voters gathered at a coffee house in Nevada, Missouri to meet Valentine and hear what she had to say.

She greeted everyone as she entered the venue, then sat in a number of conversations on whatever subject was on anyone’s mind. This does take time. Voters appreciate that.

In her remarks Trudy Busch Valentine (D) spoke on access to health care (including a women’s right to make a decision about abortion) among many other issues. There was enthusiastic applause. She also spoke of our current political and cultural environment, where the opposition’s inability to accept the results of the 2020 election and their actions to limit voter access continue to be a serious threat to our Democracy and our unity.

After her remarks she spent time in conversations with anyone who had a question and who wanted to talk with her.

Retail politics. A statewide mass media blitz may be able to buy a candidate something, but not this.

Butler, missouri, Trudy Busch Valentine, U.S. Senate

Trudy Busch Valentine (D) continued her grassroots oriented campaigning for the open U.S. Senate seat today with an early morning stop on her RV tour through small town Missouri.

On the square in Butler, Missouri:

Bates County Democrats met with Valentine for an early morning coffee…

Nurses.

Valentine then walked around the square, greeting folks at the Fall festival.

The conversations started with, “Hello, I’m Trudy, I’m running for the U.S. Senate” or, “Hello, I’m Trudy Busch Valentine, I’m running for the U.S. Senate,” and then continued with discussions about health care or Social Security…

Interestingly, no one brought up CRT or litter boxes.
