Our Platform

If the federal and state government will not invest in children and families, then the city needs to step up to fill the gap. We’ve worked to re-imagine a local government that will help support children from birth through college and beyond as they start their own families. My administration is working towards making St. Louis a thriving place for families by providing quality education options, access to safe recreation, and equitable parental leave policies.

My administration has worked to prioritize and advance:

➪ Protecting Reproductive Rights

➪ Early Childhood support

➪ Quality public Schools

➪ College Kids Savings Program

➪ Year-Round Youth Jobs

➪ Paid Family Leave

➪ Access to recreation for all generations
