A lot of attention is (rightfully) on the Mayor's race. I want to take a sec to focus on a few candidates I'm supporting for the BoA: @nato_caliph @BStingSTL @Schweitzer88 & @TinaSweetTPihl and ask you to split a donation between them to #FlipTheBoard
https://secure.actblue.com/donate/fliptheboardstl 1/

And if you're not ready to commit just yet, I hope you'll join us I hope that you will join me Monday Feb 22 from 6:00pm to 8:00pm for a virtual #FlipTheBoard Meet n' Greet to meet these four candidates. 2/

From failing to close the workhouse to spy planes to airport privatization to doubling down on failed public safety strategies, the BoA can be frustrating. It doesn't have to be that way. In recent years progressives have been making gains & we could have a majority after 4/6. 3/
