I was in a Zoom call with him today. He's an impressive candidate who has exceeded fundraising goals. He is second only to Nicole Galloway, Democratic candidate for governor, in fundraising throughout Missouri and has raised more in two quarters than our 2016 candidate.

He's an incredible candidate but if votes are suppressed in KC and STL he won't win. What he has in his favor that our GOP hates but even a majority of our polled registered Republicans like is that he promises to fight to retain CLEAN, he is in favor of automatic voter registration upon turning 18 and he believes that we should be automatically mailed ballots with a postage paid envelope for return.

The last thing the world needs is another fucking Ashcroft from Missouri holding any office anywhere.
