Do you want Safer Streets or “Defund the Police?”

While our Republican leaders are Backing the Blue and taking the initiative to make our communities and streets safer, the Democratic Party has been marching to the beat of “Defund the Police.”

Governor Mike Parson this week called for a special session to address violent crime and help make our state a safer place for all Missourians.  Governor Parson understands that violent crime is devastating our communities and he will not let violent criminals continue to destroy our state.

As a former law enforcement officer, Governor Parson knows the men and women of Missouri’s law enforcement community need our support as they work to protect our streets and communities.  While Governor Parson is Backing the Blue, his opponent, Nicole Galloway, refuses to denounce the “Defund the Police” movement.

Missourians have the right to defend their families, homes and property.  After defending their home, the McCloskey family of St. Louis are now being targeted by St. Louis City Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner.  Gardner, by the way, has an abysmal record on prosecuting violent crime, but is dedicating the resources of her office to target the McCloskeys for exercising their constitutionally-protected rights.  Missouri leaders like Governor Parson, Attorney General Eric Schmitt and Senator Josh Hawley are defending your Second Amendment rights to protect your family, your home and your private property.

Nicole Galloway and her pick to lead the Missouri Democratic Party continue to stand by the posting of a burned-out police vehicle on social media.  The destroyed police car image was prominently posted by former State Rep. Clem Smith, the newly-appointed Chairman of the Missouri Democratic Party, as the banner for his social media page.

With Nicole Galloway’s refusal to condemn the posting of the image by her state party chair, the burned-out police car image is beginning to define Galloway’s campaign and Missouri Democrats who support the “Defund the Police” movement.
