Job Description:
Be a part of something historic and make a difference in Missouri's future by helping us flip House District 100 (Ballwin) BLUE for the first time ever!

Colin is running for State Rep to serve his community as a voice of reason in Jefferson City; to protect the dignity and rights of all people; and to inspire hope that Missouri is an ideal place to live, thrive, and grow. We need your help to contact as many voters as possible before polls close on November 5 - because we know that when we connect with voters, we win!
