The decisions made at the ballot box can have a lasting impact on retirees, public education, and communities across Missouri. Before you cast your vote, take a few minutes to learn what each ballot measure would do.

Follow the Money!

When evaluating candidates, it is important to look beyond campaign promises and political advertisements. One of the clearest ways to better understand a candidate's priorities is to see who is helping fund their campaign.

Campaign contributions can come from individuals, political action committees (PACs), businesses, labor organizations, and advocacy groups. While a donation does not automatically determine how an elected official will vote, it can provide valuable insight into the interests and organizations supporting that candidate.

An informed voter is an empowered voter. We encourage you to examine the information, consider the sources of campaign funding, and decide for yourself what it may mean for the candidates asking for your vote.

More coming soon.
