Bringing a Progressive Vision and a Backbone to Jefferson City
Missouri House District 24
Meet Kevin
“Our community embraces progressive values rooted in caring for our most underserved residents. As state representative, I’ll stand up for Kansas City while working with anyone who is serious about delivering results for our neighborhoods and pushing back against the extreme MAGA agenda in Jefferson City.”
On the issues
Kevin is running to stand up for the Missourians too often ignored — working families and underserved communities. He’s pushing back against the extreme MAGA agenda and fighting for opportunity, justice, and equality for all, not just the powerful few.
