We’re proud to endorse Shedrick “Nato Caliph” Kelley for St. Louis Alderman in Ward 8. With early voting already underway and Election Day set for July 1, 2025.
Shedrick is a true progressive champion:
- Community-rooted leadership: A St. Louis native, father of six public school students, and local artist, Shedrick brings lived experience and deep community ties to public service.
- Progressive activist pedigree: As a business analyst at Wells Fargo and active volunteer with the Organization for Black Struggle, Coalition Against Police Crimes & Repression, and the Civilian Oversight Board, Shedrick has demonstrated a clear commitment to racial, economic, environmental, and criminal justice.
- Bold vision for economic and social justice: He’s running to expand living-wage jobs, address homelessness, increase affordable housing, support small businesses, and reinvest in community-driven services — not corporate tax giveaways.
We believe Shedrick Kelley embodies the fighting spirit we need in City Hall — someone who will center working families, confront injustice, and build real power in Ward 8 and beyond.
