Where’s Nicole on the Violent Crime Epidemic? Standing with ‘Defund the Police’ Supporters

Jefferson City – Missouri Republican Party Executive Director Jean Evans today issued the following statement:

“Nicole Galloway likes to be critical of others without offering her own plans to address major issues like addressing the City of St. Louis’s violent crime epidemic.  While Governor Mike Parson has been offering plans and solutions, Galloway has been focused on politics.

“Galloway quickly endorsed Cori Bush, the newest member of the AOC Squad, who has called for defunding the police.  And Galloway refuses to denounce her Party’s support for ‘Defund the Police.’

“Nicole Galloway also refuses to condemn the actions of her Missouri Democratic Party Chairman who posted a photo of a burned-out police car as the banner for his Twitter page.

“Instead of offering plans of her own, Nicole Galloway has been consumed with politics, while Missourians repeatedly ask, ‘Where’s Nicole?’  Meanwhile, Governor Mike Parson is leading by taking action to hold violent criminals accountable and deliver justice to victims and their families.”
