Shane Cohn for St. Louis Recorder of Deeds

 

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Shane Cohn for City of St. Louis Recorder of Deeds in the August 4 Democratic primary.

The Recorder of Deeds may not grab headlines, but it plays an essential role in the lives of St. Louis families. From protecting property records to helping residents access critical legal documents, this office should be transparent, accessible, and focused on serving the public.

That’s exactly what Shane Cohn is running to deliver.

Shane has a clear vision for transforming the Recorder of Deeds office into a modern public service that works for everyone—not outdated bureaucracy.

Modernizing an Office That Serves Every Family

Every resident deserves quick, reliable access to the public records they need.

Shane will modernize the office by expanding digital access to public records, improving customer service, increasing transparency, and making services easier and faster for everyone who depends on them.

He’ll also protect and preserve St. Louis’s historic records while ensuring they’re more accessible to the public.

Government should work for the people. Shane is committed to making sure this office does exactly that.

Protecting Homeowners and Seniors

Shane understands that protecting public records also means protecting families.

That’s why he’ll establish free property fraud alerts to notify homeowners whenever documents are recorded against their property and help identify suspicious activity before it becomes a crisis.

He also plans to partner with local law clinics to provide basic estate-planning assistance for seniors, making it easier for older residents to protect their homes and prepare important legal documents.

These practical improvements can make a real difference in people’s lives.

Helping Communities Recover

Shane is focused on making government more responsive during times of crisis.

He will create one-point access for critical records and probate documents for families impacted by the devastating May 2025 tornado, helping residents recover more quickly when they need government services the most.

He also plans to establish a document portal to help St. Louis families affected by radioactive exposure obtain the records needed to pursue federal reimbursement claims.

Bringing Professionalism and Accountability

Shane believes public offices should serve the public with professionalism, accountability, and respect.

He’s committed to bringing best practices to the Recorder of Deeds office, modernizing operations, improving transparency, and ensuring every resident receives efficient, dignified service.

That’s the kind of leadership St. Louis deserves.

During eight years in the Missouri House, Gina fought for reproductive freedom, strong public schools, affordable healthcare, paid sick leave, fair wages, collective bargaining, gun safety, and government accountability.

Raised by a single parent, Nicole’s family relied on subsidized housing, SNAP, WIC, and free school lunches. She later spent 13 years as a member of the Communications Workers of America, where she saw how collective bargaining, fair wages, and worker protections can transform people’s lives.

Nicole is running to reduce inequality, support organized labor, and bring responsive, community-centered leadership to Jefferson City.

Kennedy Moore is a longtime community organizer who helped lead the successful statewide effort to pass Amendment 3 and restore abortion rights in Missouri’s Constitution.

Kennedy helped train and coordinate thousands of volunteers who collected 380,000 signatures in only three months. When Republican lawmakers moved to disregard the election results and reverse the voters’ decision, Kennedy decided to run for office herself.

In Jefferson City, Kennedy will defend reproductive freedom and Missouri’s initiative petition process, invest in Ferguson-Florissant public schools, protect workers and unions, lower healthcare and utility costs, and fight for safe, affordable housing.

Rep. Ray Reed for State House — District 83

Rep. Ray Reed is a bold young leader working to give the next generation of Missourians a stronger voice in state government.

Gina Mitten for Missouri State Senate District 4

By ALL, Endorsement, MO

Gina Mitten for Missouri State Senate District 4

 

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Gina Mitten for Missouri State Senate in Missouri’s 4th District.

Gina Mitten has spent her career standing up for working people, defending reproductive freedom, protecting public education, and fighting for accountable government. She understands what Missouri families are facing because she’s lived many of those same struggles—and she’s never stopped fighting to make government work for everyday people instead of powerful interests.

Growing up in University City before returning home to St. Louis, Gina balanced work, raising her family as a single parent, and continuing her education. She went on to serve on the Richmond Heights City Council and represented her community for eight years in the Missouri House, where she championed ethics reform, environmental protection, education, and government accountability.

Gina’s campaign is centered on the issues that matter most to working families.

She believes affordable, quality healthcare—including reproductive healthcare—is a basic human right. During her time in the legislature, she served on committees focused on Medicaid expansion, fought to increase access to mental health care and substance use treatment, opposed cuts that would threaten local hospitals, and consistently defended reproductive freedom. As she says, politicians should stay out of personal healthcare decisions.

Gina is also a lifelong advocate for workers’ rights. Drawing from her own experience as a single mother struggling to make ends meet, she has fought for paid sick leave, fair wages, workers’ compensation protections, unemployment benefits, and the right of workers to organize. She has pledged to stand against anti-worker legislation and continue fighting for dignity and fairness on the job.

She is equally committed to strengthening Missouri’s public schools. Gina supports robust investment in public education, defending teachers, expanding opportunities through dual enrollment, Advanced Placement courses, vocational training, and affordable higher education. Outside the legislature, she has coached her local high school’s Mock Trial team since 2019, helping lead students to a state championship in 2025.

Gina is also focused on keeping communities safe through investments in first responders, stronger community partnerships, and commonsense gun safety measures, including universal background checks and red flag laws.

At a time when Missouri families need leaders willing to fight for their rights instead of giving in to extremist politics, Gina Mitten is ready to deliver.

When we organize, we win.

Our Revolution Endorses Cori Bush to Reclaim MO-1

By ALL, Endorsement, MO

Our Revolution Endorses Cori Bush to Reclaim MO-1:

Our Revolution proudly endorses Cori Bush in her courageous campaign to reclaim Missouri’s 1st Congressional District. Cori has always stood with the people—unapologetically, fearlessly — and now she’s answering the call again in a race that matters for the future of progressive politics.

Why We Support Cori Bush

  • Rooted in activism, not special interests. Cori’s journey is built on community struggle. She’s a nurse, pastor, and longtime organizer who was on the frontlines of Ferguson, standing with Black Lives Matter and demanding justice for her community.
  • Bold progressive vision. In Congress, Cori championed Medicare for All, cancellation of student debt, expanding reproductive rights, and reallocating resources from policing to people. Her agenda is not incremental—it’s transformative.
  • A consistent fighter against corporate influence. Her re-election bid is a stand against the billionaire-backed machine that ousted her from MO-1. In her 2024 primary loss, pro-Israel super PACs poured $8.5+ million into the race to unseat her precisely because she refused to be silenced.
  • A mandate to push forward—not retreat. Cori doesn’t move backward. She moves forward. We need leaders who don’t compromise when conditions get tough—and that’s exactly what she’s running to do.

The Stakes Are High

Missouri’s 1st has too often been treated as safe ground for establishment politics. But that’s not good enough when people are crushed by healthcare costs, racial injustice, climate collapse, and widening inequality. The district deserves a representative who will fight for working people—not corporate donors, not talk-show headlines, and not political insiders.

The powerful forces that tried to silence Cori last cycle are mobilizing again. This time, we’re not only going to resist their influence—we’re going to outwork it. We will make this race about people, not PACs or dark money.

What We’ll Do Together

  • Mobilize the grassroots. Volunteers across Missouri and the country will knock doors, phonebank, and build relationships with voters who rarely get heard.
  • Amplify her message. We’ll spread Cori’s vision through social media, texts, and community forums to counter the billionaire-funded narrative.
  • Build a durable movement. This campaign isn’t just about one race—it’s about strengthening the progressive infrastructure in MO-1, inspiring local power, and shifting the balance of power nationally.

Cori’s running again because she knows what we already do: When we organize, we win.

This time, we reclaim MO-1—not for elites, but for working people.
