The fight for
free speech
The violence, looting and mayhem that
this nation has seen over the last several
months has much of its roots in academia,
where leftist faculty teach immature young
people all manner of nonsense that contradicts
commonsense and the principles
of liberty. Chief among their lessons is a
need to attack free speech in the form of
prohibitions against so-called hate speech
and microaggressions. Here are examples
of microaggressions: “You are a credit to
your race.” “Wow! How did you become
so good in math?” “There is only one race,
the human race.” “I’m not racist. I have
several black friends.” “As a woman, I
know what you go through as a racial
minority.”
It is a tragic state of affairs when free
speech and inquiry require protection at
institutions of higher learning. Indeed,
freedom in the marketplace of ideas
has made the United States, as well as
other Western nations, a leader in virtually
every area of human endeavor. A
monopoly of ideas is just as dangerous
as a monopoly in political power or a
monopoly in the production of goods
and services.
We might ask what is the true test of
a person’s commitment to free speech?
The true test does not come when he permits
people to say those things he deems
acceptable. The true test comes when he
permits people to say those things that he
deems offensive. The identical principle
applies to freedom of association; its true
test comes when someone permits others
to voluntarily associate in ways that he
deems offensive.
While free speech has been under attack,
we are beginning to see some pushback.
More than 12,000 professors, free speech
leaders and conservative-leaning organization
leaders have signed “The Philadelphia
Statement.”
The 845-word document says in part:
“Similarly, colleges and universities are
imposing speech regulations to make
students ‘safe,’ not from physical harm,
but from challenges to campus orthodoxy.
These policies and regulations assume
that we as citizens are unable to think for
ourselves and to make independent judgments.
Instead of teaching us to engage,
they foster conformism (“groupthink”)
and train us to respond to intellectual
challenges with one or another form of
censorship. A society that lacks comity
and allows people to be shamed or intimidated
into self-censorship of their ideas
and considered judgments will not survive
for long. As Americans, we desire
a flourishing, open marketplace of ideas,
knowing that it is the fairest and most
effective way to separate falsehood from
truth. Accordingly, dissenting and unpopular
voices – be they of the left or the
right – must be afforded the opportunity
to be heard. They have often guided our
society toward more just positions, which
is why Frederick Douglass said freedom
of speech is the ‘great moral renovator of
society and government.’”
The recognition of the intellectual
elite attacking free speech is not new. In
a 1991 speech, Yale University President
Benno Schmidt warned: “The most serious
problems of freedom of expression in our
society today exist on our campuses. The
assumption seems to be that the purpose
of education is to induce correct opinion
rather than to search for wisdom and to
liberate the mind.”
Tyrants everywhere, from the Nazis to
the communists, started out supporting
free speech rights. Why? Because speech
is important for the realization of leftist
goals of command and control. People
must be propagandized, proselytized
and convinced. Once leftists have gained
power, as they have in most of our colleges
and universities, free speech becomes a liability.
It challenges their ideas and agenda
and must be suppressed.
Attacks on free speech to accommodate
C
multiculturalism and diversity are really
M
attacks on Western values, which are
Y
superior to all others. The indispensable
achievement of the West was the concept CM
of individual rights, the idea that individuals
have certain inalienable rights that are
MY
CY
not granted by government. Governments
CMY
exist to protect these inalienable rights. It
took until the 17th century for that idea Kto
arise and mostly through the works of English
philosophers such as John Locke and
David Hume. And now the 21st century
campus leftists are trying to suppress these
inalienable rights.

EDITORIAL
Vote!
The following is an excerpt from Franklin D. Roosevelt’s final campaign radio
speech of the 1936 presidential campaign.
November 02, 1936
Tomorrow fifty-five million Americans are eligible to vote. I hope that all of
those fifty-five millions will vote.
I like to think of these millions as individual citizens from Maine to the southern
tip of California, from Key West to Puget Sound – farmers who stop their fall plowing
long enough to drive into town with their wives – wage earners stopping on the
way to work or the way home –business and professional men and women – town
and city housewives – and that great company of youth for whom this year’s first
vote will be a great adventure.
Americans have had to put up with a good many things in the course of our history.
But the only rule we have ever put up with is the rule of the majority. That is the only
rule we ever will put up with. Spelled with a small “d” we are all democrats.
In some places in the world the tides are running against democracy. But our
faith has not been unsettled. We believe in democracy because of our traditions.
But we believe in it even more because of our experience.
• • •
When you and I stand in line tomorrow for our turn at the polls, we shall stand in
a line which reaches back across the entire history of our nation.
Washington stood in that line and Jefferson and Jackson and Lincoln. And in
later days Cleveland stood there and Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson.
All these – in their day-waited their turn to vote. And rubbing elbows with them –
their voting equals – is a long succession of American citizens whose names are not
known to history but who, by their vote, helped to make history.
Every man and every woman who has voted in the past has had a hand in the
making of the United States of the present. Every man and woman who votes
tomorrow will have a hand in the making of the United States of the future. To
refuse to vote is to say: “I am not interested in the United States of the future.”
We who live in a free America know that our democracy is not perfect. But
we are beginning to know also that, in self-government as in many other things,
progress comes from experience. People do not become good citizens by mandate.
They become good citizens by the exercise of their citizenship and by the discussions,
the reading, the campaign give-and-take which help them make up their
minds how to exercise that citizenship.
Not only are people voting in larger numbers this year. They also know more
this year than ever before about the real issues. They are thinking for themselves.
They listen to both sides. They no longer accept at face value opinions or even
statements from newspapers, from political spokesmen and from so-called leaders
of their communities. They insist on checking up.
I doubt if there was ever more downright political intelligence at the average
American fireside than there is today.
• • •
Whoever is elected tomorrow will become the President of all the people. It will
be his concern to meet the problems of all the people with an understanding mind
and with no trace of partisan feeling.
Any President should welcome any American citizen or group of citizens who
can offer constructive suggestions for the management of government or for the
improvement of laws.
Society needs constant vigilance and the interest of individual men and women.
And when you go to the ballot box tomorrow, do not be afraid to vote as you
think best for the kind of a world you want to have. There need be no strings on
any of us in the polling place.
In the polling booth we are all equals.
• • •
Sometimes men wonder overmuch what they will receive for what they are giving
in the service of a democracy – whether it is worth the cost to share in that struggle
which is a part of the business of representative government. But the reward of that
effort is to feel that they have been a part of great things, that they have helped to
build, that they have had their share in the great battles of their generation.

Resources notified the city in 2016 that
ammonia limits at its wastewater treatment
plant must be reduced within a five-year
timeframe. This was not optional.
In response, the city designed and is currently
constructing a wastewater treatment
plant expansion project. In addition to
plant upgrades, improvements are needed
to wells 3 and 4.
To fund the cost of these projects, Mayor
Bill Hennessy sponsored Bill No. 7253 to
authorize special obligation bonds for a
total of $5,195,000.
Additionally, Bill No. 7254, sponsored
by Hennessy, proposes to authorize taxable
special obligation refunding bonds
to refund the special obligation bonds at a
cost saving to the city. Those 2012 bonds
originally were issued to refund 2001 plant
projects.
At the Oct. 8 council meeting, Bills 7253
and 7254 were given a first reading. Vote
for passage is expected to occur at the Oct.
22 council meeting.
In addition, Resolution 10-08-2020A
was passed by a vote of 10-0, to authorize
the sale of those bond series as soon as the
council approves the two bills in a subsequent
meeting. Passage of the resolution
enables city staff to proceed with protocol
items required prior to bonds being offered
for bid.
Recreational facility planned
for former gym site
Dogwood Social House, LLC has
applied for a conditional use permit for an
indoor commercial recreation facility and
a liquor store at 2601 Hwy. K, the former
Gold’s Gym building, which is already
zoned as C-2/General Business District.
Gold’s Gym was permanently closed in
April 2020, after the COVID-19 pandemic
caused its parent company to reassess all
under-performing locations in the U.S.
The building has been shuttered since then.
Dogwood currently operates similar
facilities in Ellisville and Cape Girardeau.
Recreation at the Hwy. K location would
include axe throwing, billiards, arcade
games, shuffleboard, yard games, karaoke
room, bowling, a bar and outdoor patio.
Dogwood also has applied for a separate
conditional use permit for the sale of alcohol
by the drink. Their Hwy. K recreation
facility and liquor store would be separate
spaces and have separate entrances.
Recreational facility operational hours
would be 11 a.m.-midnight, Wednesday
and Thursday; 11 a.m.-1:30 a.m., Friday
and Saturday; and 11 a.m.-6 p.m., Sunday.
Liquor store hours were not specified.
Adjacent to the property are Four Seasons
Plaza to the north, Dardenne Elementary
School to the south, Hwy. K to the east
and Brandywine Estates to the west.
Bill No. 7245 to allow or deny the
permit was given a public hearing and first
reading at the Oct. 8 council meeting. If
the typical process is followed, the second
reading and vote for passage would be at
the Oct. 22 council meeting.
The Planning & Zoning Commission
has recommended approval with nine specific
conditions, including a solid barrier
between the proposed patio and the school
to the south.
Justice Center improvements
authorized
At its Oct. 8 meeting, the O’Fallon City
Council passed Resolution 10-08-2020E
by a vote of 10-0, to authorize Justice
Center improvements paid from the Asset
Forfeiture Fund for a total of $479,600.

One way the fund is supplied is from
the sale of assets seized from drug dealers
after successful civil and criminal cases.
The improvements and approximate
costs will be:
• $300,000 to design, build and equip the
defensive tactics and de-escalation room
and driving simulator room.
• $27,000 for 120 Armament Systems
and Procedures (ASP) batons.
• $140,000 for the driving simulator.
• $12,600 for 75 binoculars.
The resolution also includes $15,000
from the Justice Center Project Fund
(Bond Fund) to repair three Justice Center
gates that are not operable at this time.
The defensive tactics and de-escalation
training room was not completed when
the Justice Center was built in 2017. The
new room’s design includes tiered seating
for better viewing during training and
a separate room for the driving simulator.
Equipment will include defensive tactics
mats, flooring and heavy bags.
Included in the resolution are funds for
the replacement of existing but outdated
batons. A new training course has been
developed for police officers using the
new ASP Talon Infinity Baton and will be
included in the 2021 training schedule.
New binoculars are needed in police
vehicles to meet Missouri Police Chiefs
Association (MPCA) Certification requirements.

$1,000 for the Care Service over the last
two years. He said he chose the Care Service
after attending Sts. Joachim and Ann
Catholic School and volunteering for the
nonprofit.
“We helped the Care Service out a lot
during eighth grade,” he said. “I saw all of
the amazing things they did to help people,
so I’ve always wanted to find a way to
make donations that would make a big
impact.”
Care Service Executive Director Pam

Jacob and his annual gift to the Care Service.
We are seeing a significant increase in
need during the COVID-19 pandemic and
every donation we receive has an impact

Teen lights up the night
for local care service
Jacob Jones, a 17-year-old St. Dominic
student, has created a flashy fundraiser for
the Sts. Joachim and Ann Care Service.
Jones, who loves light shows, donates all
the proceeds of his annual Halloween and
Christmas displays to the nonprofit, which
serves individuals and families in crisis.
“I’ve always wanted to make a light
show of my own. Every Christmas, my
family would go see a light display by
ICD (Immaculate Conception Church) in
Dardenne Prairie. Every time we passed it,
I told my parents I wanted to do that someday,”
Jones explained.
Two years ago, he did just that.
He now spends 10 months out of the
year programming the lights to music,
and then spends several days stringing up
thousands of lights for both Halloween and
Christmas.
“During the holiday months, our front
porch is covered in wires,” Jones said.
The light show is located at 28 Lost
Valley Court in St. Peters and is open from
5:30-9 p.m., Monday-Thursday; from
5:30-10 p.m., Friday and Saturday; and
from 5:30-9:30 p.m. on Sundays.

ANN WAGNER* (R) • annwagner.com
1. Affordable health care, rebuilding
from the pandemic and public safety
are three of my top priorities. I am committed
to the health and safety of every
constituent during this pandemic. I have
voted multiple times to protect those with
preexisting conditions and have worked
to lower prescription drug costs, bolster
mental health services and expand telehealth
options. I support free coronavirus
testing and treatment and providing health
insurance premium assistance to those
who have lost jobs.
2. I was born and raised in Missouri’s
Second District, where I’ve spent my life
giving back and investing in this community.
I learned about the value of hard work
while working at my family’s small business,
and representing this district is one
of the greatest honors of my life. I have a
strong record fighting for Missouri families.
I am proud that every one of the bills
that I’ve passed into law has been bipartisan.
JILL SCHUPP (D) • jillschupp.com
1. We deserve representation that puts
families first – not special interests. We
must get the virus under control so we can
safely get our kids in school and rebuild
our economy. COVID-19 has illuminated
many of the flaws within our health care
system and one of my top priorities is
addressing those issues. Lowering the
cost of prescription drugs, defending the
Affordable Care Act and ensuring access to
affordable health care, including for those
with pre-existing conditions, are critical.
2. I am committed to working across
the aisle to deliver for Missouri families.
From the school board to the state Senate,

I’ve earned a reputation as someone who
brings people together to get things done.
Whether it was ending surprise billing in
emergency rooms, or making daycare
safer for all of our children, every bill I’ve
passed in the Senate has had bipartisan
support. I plan to bring that same bipartisan
spirit to Congress.
MARTIN SCHULTE (L) •

1. My top priorities are to vote against
any proposed tax increases, reduce federal
spending and assist small businesses to
rebound from the pandemic. I will defend
all liberties guaranteed to you by the Constitution
and work against the continuing
battle to usurp those rights. I will endeavor
to build equality, life and safety into justice
reform, create workable reforms with the
current health care options and be accessible
to the people of the second district.

Election Preview: Unpacking Amendment 3
The amendment asks voters to reconsider, modify provisions approved in 2018
with the passage of Amendment 1, aka ‘Clean Missouri’
By JEFFREY BRICKER
This November voters across the state
will be asked to weigh in on one of the
most important (yet misunderstood)
issues to the American political process
– the drawing of legislative district maps.
State Rep. John Wiemann (R-District
103) is a key sponsor of the legislation
(Senate Joint Resolution 38) that has
become Amendment 3. The issue on the
November ballot will ask voters across
the state to decide if the Missouri Constitution
should be amended to:
• change the threshold of lobbyists’ gifts
from $5 to $0.
• lower the campaign contribution limit
for state Senate campaigns from $2,500 to
$2,400.
• change the redistricting process
voters approved in 2018* by transferring
responsibility for drawing state legislative
districts from the nonpartisan state
demographer to governor-appointed
bipartisan commissions, and modifying
and reordering the redistricting criteria.
(*Voters in 2018 passed Amendment 1,
also known as “Clean Missouri,” by over
60% of the vote.)
“Most citizens, when asked about their
legislative districts, agree that making the
districts compact, contiguous, and emphasizing
community of interest are things
that are important to them,” Wiemann said.
“Clean Missouri virtually eliminated these
factors from consideration for
redistricting and instead focuses
on ‘political fairness’ wherein
all districts should attempt to be
equally balanced between political
parties.
“Under Clean, a district that
starts in downtown St. Louis
could meander out through Jefferson
County in an effort to balance
the Democrats in St. Louis
with the Republicans in Jefferson
County. This could result in gerrymandering
on steroids.”
Breaking ‘Clean Missouri’
Led by a bipartisan coalition, opponents
to Amendment 3 unite under the familiar
moniker of “Clean Missouri.” The term,
which was linked favorably to Amendment
1 in 2018, now refers to the opposition
of Amendment 3. Thus, adding to the
confusion for voters in 2020.
Critics accuse Amendment 3 of being
“deceptive” and an attempt by some to “rig
the maps.” According to the group’s website,
opposition to Amendment 3 includes
former U.S. Senator John C. Danforth, a
Republican, and St. Louis Mayor Lyda
Krewson, a Democrat.
Gerrymandering: the practice of
dividing or arranging a territorial
unit into election districts in a way
that gives one political party an
unfair advantage in elections.
– As defined by Merriam Webster
State Representative Peter Meredith
(D-District 80) is also among local leaders
who oppose Amendment 3. He has
used his social media platform, among
other avenues, to voice his opposition.
On Twitter, Meredith calls Amendment
3 “a nasty and extreme gerrymandering
amendment” and charges that it will make
Missouri “the most gerrymandered state
since 1970s Mississippi.”
Critics view Amendment 3 as an attempt
to roll back the reforms approved two
years ago with the passage of Amendment
1. Among those reforms was stripping
the state legislature of its power to determine
legislative districts. Rather,
Amendment 1 gave that power to
a nonpartisan state demographer
with the intent of taking politics
out of the process. The demographer
is to be chosen from an
applicant pool by the State Auditor
and the majority and minority
leaders of the Missouri Senate.
The chosen applicant must not
have served in an elected, partisan
position for four years before
his or her appointment.
To date, no one has been hired
for this position.
The districts drawn by the demographer
are to contain roughly similar numbers of
voters for both major political parties.
Fixing ‘Clean Missouri’
Proponents of Amendment 3, including
Wiemann, believe Clean Missouri presents
its own set of unresolved legal issues.

At its meeting on Oct. 13, the St.
Charles County Council took up Emergency
Bill No. 4893, which concerned
the county accepting a grant of $667,919
from the Center for Tech and Civic Life.
The Center is an election advocacy group
with some financial ties to Facebook
CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
Council member Joe Brazil (District
2) stated that he had a number of questions
concerning the bill, which had
been sponsored by county Financial
Director Bob Schnur and submitted by
council chairman Terry Hollander (District
5). He asked why this bill had been
designated as an “emergency” measure
and suggested that it should have been
treated as a standard revenue measure
with two readings and time for the full
council to give the proposal adequate
consideration.
Brazil suggested that the bill was
being rushed through without a complete
and thorough vetting. He also wondered
why the county would consider accepting
Zuckerberg’s money, in light of Facebook’s
known censoring of opinions,
particularly those of known conservative
voices, including the President of the
United States.
“Do you guys know that we are taking
Zuckerberg’s money … have any of you
guys given any thought to this? Are you
kidding me?” Brazil asked.
Schnur’s response led to a sharp
exchange with Brazil over the measure,
with Schnur stating that the proposed
@MIDRIVERSNEWS
MIDRIVERSNEWSMAGAZINE.COM
County Council accepts grant
to bolster accessible voting
AMENDMENT 3, from page 10
He contends those could be remedied by
the passing of Amendment 3.
“Amendment 1 gives the authority to
the state auditor, who has nothing to do
with elections, to appoint the state demographer,
who will be the one person who
draws the political lines,” Wiemann said.
“… furthermore, the Missouri Constitution,
Article IV, Section 14, (states that)
the Secretary of State is responsible for
elections. Why did advocates for Clean
Missouri select the state auditor for this
task instead of the one statewide elected
official charged constitutionally with the
responsibility of elections in Missouri?”
The fair ballot language approved for
the Nov. 3 General Election describes the
bill had nothing to do with Zuckerberg
or his politics. Instead, he said it dealt
with accepting money to buy necessary
equipment mandated by federal law.
Schnur further suggested that Brazil
had not thoroughly read the council
packet. To which Brazil responded, “…
we have been forbidden to talk to anyone
in county government about this issue.”
“I’m trying to tell you, if you would
just listen,” Schnur replied.
County Director of Elections Kurt Bahr
took over the answering of questions at
this point. He stated that Zuckerberg had
given a $250 million contribution to the
Center For Tech and Civic Life. Additionally,
he noted that the county was legally
required by the Americans With Disabilities
Act to have at least one ADA-compliant
voting machine at each polling place,
and that HAVA (Help Americans Vote
Act) imposed other mandates, as well. He
stressed the necessity to move quickly
on this issue, and said that the $667,919
grant would allow the region to meet its
obligation with little expense to county
taxpayers.
Brazil asked about the make-up of
Unison Corporation, the company from
whom the county buys most of their
voting equipment; a question that Bahr
could not answer.
Council member Joe Cronin (District
1) stated that he favored anything that
would solve a problem without overburdening
the county taxpayers. His view
seemed to carry the day.
The council voted 5-1 to pass the bill,
with Brazil opposed.
redistricting process proposed by Amendment
3 as follows:
“The amendment modifies the criteria
for redrawing legislative districts and
changes the process for redrawing state
legislative district boundaries during
redistricting by giving redistricting
responsibility to a bipartisan commission
(sic), renames them, and increases membership
to 20 by adding four commissioners
appointed by the Governor from
nominations by the two major political
party’s state committees.”
Among the criteria for redistricting,
as defined by SJR 38, are that “districts
shall be as nearly equal as practicable in
population” and “shall be composed of
contiguous territory as compact as may
be.”

1. I’m running for governor to put Jefferson
City back on the side of working
families and to act with urgency to protect
the people of our state. The most important
thing the next governor will have to do is
contain the spread of the virus and rebuild
Missouri’s economy. One of the best ways
to do that is to strengthen our health care
system, expand access to health care and
get health care costs under control.
2. As Missouri’s auditor, I’ve identified
$370 million in government waste and my
audits have resulted in 63 criminal counts
against corrupt public officials, both Democrats
and Republicans. My record is one
of demanding accountability, efficiency
and transparency at all levels of government.
It’s why voters elected me to the
position I currently hold and it’s the same
approach I’ll bring to the governor’s office,
ensuring that every hard-earned dollar you
put in is treated with respect.

opportunity to achieve their God-given
potentials.
2. My qualifications include being a
career senior U.S. Air Force officer and

I also served three years as a CEO

2009). I have the leadership, vision and the
ability to get results.

to attract high-paying jobs to Missouri,
and help our small businesses in any way

1. I tell people that if they want a smaller
government, get on board with us. If you
think we need a lieutenant governor, then
maybe you don’t want to vote for me. You
should know that it is possible to get by
without one. The only constitutional duty
of the lieutenant governor in Missouri is to
vote in case of a tie in the State Senate and
to fill in for the governor in case of death
or disability.
2. I am not a Democrat or a Republican.
I am a Libertarian. I believe in a limited
government. Individuals should be free to
make choices for themselves and accept
responsibility for the choices they make.
The Libertarian way approaches politics
based on the principle of self-ownership
– no group, government nor individual
should be allowed to dictate or direct the
life of any other group, government or
individual.

labor rights, public transportation and universal
health care. We need to be addressing
each of these needs under the umbrella
of the climate crisis we are entering. Creating
a robust public transit system will
create well-benefited jobs for a variety of
Missourians. In addition, it will allow us to
mobilize quickly, sending medicine, food
and supplies when our state experiences
worsening natural disasters.
2. I have spent the last 10 years in activism,
organizing educational programs and
advocacy events with many diverse groups

from 350.org to SURJ. In addition, I have
been involved in the Kansas City, Heart of
America Chapter of the Green Party, serving,
at various times, as treasurer, communications
and outreach, and co-coordinator.
I have the ability to both listen and lead
in order to give the people what they are
asking for.
Secretary of State
JOHN R. (JAY) ASHCROFT* (R) •
ashcroftformissouri.com
1. My priorities are to continue enhancing
the safety and security of our elections
while ensuring that every registered voter
can vote; continue growing support for our
state and public library system, including
better broadband support, job training and
educational support services; and continue
making it easier for individuals to start
new businesses and for current companies
to grow.
2. As Missouri’s Secretary of State, I’ve
spent years working with local election
authorities to ensure the security of and
confidence in our elections. This experience
in administering elections is critical
in an environment of foreign cyber threats
and COVID-19. I will continue to use my
training as an engineer and attorney to lead
nationally on cyber-security issues, bringing
other secretaries of state together as
we did in 2018 for the National Election
Security Summit in St. Louis.
YINKA FALETI (D) • yinkafaleti.com
1. My top priority will be to protect
the right to vote by making our elections
safe, secure and accessible. I will fight
for no-excuse absentee voting, expanded
early voting, automatic voter registration,
improved online registration, one-time
only registration throughout the state, no
matter how many times you move within
the state; robust voter education; vote-bymail
without mandating notarization; and
more. My second priority will be to protect
and strengthen the ballot initiative process
in Missouri.
2. As an immigrant American, I earned
my right to vote when I gained my citizenship
as a teenager. As a West Point graduate
and U.S. Army veteran, I defended
our collective right to vote on my two
deployments to Kuwait, both before and
in response to 9/11. My greatest qualifications
for holding a public office is my
passion for service and my intimate understanding
of the sacredness of the right to
vote.

Treasurer
SCOTT FITZPATRICK* (R) •
scottfitpatrick.com
1. My top priority will be to ensure the
state maintains its AAA credit rating and
continues to balance its budget and fund
its pension obligations. I will also work
with the legislature to improve funding
to provide educational opportunities for
children in failing schools. I’ll also continue
to look for opportunities to work
cross-departmentally for the benefit of
taxpayers, similar to the partnership I created
with Department of Social Services
to return unclaimed property to families
owed child support.
2. I started a manufacturing and construction
company in high school, and grew
it while I was at Mizzou. It now employs
nearly 70 people and generates millions
of dollars in income for Missouri families
annually. I became frustrated with government
and ran for the Missouri House in
2012. Once elected, I became the budget
chairman and, as chairman, I fully funded
K-12 Education and delivered a $500 million
budget surplus. I have now served as
state treasurer for two years.
VICKI LORENZ ENGLUND (D) •
vickienglund.com
1. As Missouri state treasurer, I will
target small business and agricultural
loans in areas hit hardest by COVID-19;
invest in companies that reflect sustainability,
inclusion and sound corporate
governance; improve financial literacy by
increasing access to banking and capital in
low-income communities; expand college
savings plans to create security for future
generations; and secure the homefront and
food supply by supporting Missouri family
farmers and opposing foreign ownership
of farmland.
2. I have a bachelor’s and master’s
degree in political science from American
University in Washington, D.C., and
have worked for the Clinton Administration’s
SBA Office of Women’s Business
Ownership. I have worked for the St.
Louis County Economic Council and as
an Edward Jones leasing coordinator. I
have the experience to help small businesses
survive the COVID-19 economic
crisis. I have served in the Missouri
House and on the Lindbergh school
board, and have run an online retail business.
NICHOLAS (NICK) KASOFF (L) •

1. My top priority will be to run the treasurer’s
office in a nonpartisan fashion, with
an attention to providing quality service.

Revenue to find property owners and get
their money to them quickly.
2. I am an enrolled agent in tax practice,
with decades of experience running and
consulting for small businesses. My political
philosophy is to reduce spending and
environmental impact of the office, while
providing the best service possible. As a
Libertarian, I’m not part of the political
system, so I can ensure honesty from a
neutral position.

Attorney General
ERIC SCHMITT* (R) •
schmittformissouri.com
RICH FINNERAN (D) • richfinneran.com
1. My first priority is protecting health
care, including coverage for preexisting
conditions, by ending Missouri’s involvement
in the federal lawsuit to eliminate
the Affordable Care Act. Second is criminal
justice: I will address the inequities of
our system head-on and ensure the law is
enforced fairly and equally for all. Third,
I’ll take on corruption to make sure the
AG’s office benefits the people, not politicians
or the well-connected.
2. I’m a former federal prosecutor dedicated
to serving justice and protecting the
public. From 2010 to 2017, I served as an
assistant U.S. attorney in St. Louis, where
I aggressively prosecuted some of the most
significant cases in the history of the state,
including a $435 million prepaid funeral
scam and a $50 million investment fraud.
I’ve never been afraid to take on the powerful
and well-connected when they preyed
upon the vulnerable.

Constitutional Amendment 1
Do you want to amend the Missouri
Constitution to extend the two term restriction
that currently applies to the Governor
and Treasurer to the Lt. Governor, Secretary
of State, Auditor and the Attorney
General? State and local governmental
entities estimate no costs or savings from
this proposal.

ELECTION PREVIEW
State Senate - District 23
BILL EIGEL* (R) • billeigel.com
RICHARD ORR (D) • richardorr.org
1. My top priorities include the following:
I want to ensure that Right to Work
does not become law in Missouri and that
Medicaid expansion, which will insure
thousands of lower income Missourians,
is implemented as quickly as possible
since the need is great and people are
suffering. I also want to preserve the antigerrymandering
law that passed in 2018
by defeating Amendment 3. I also want
to increase state funding for veterans programs
and eliminate state taxes on Social
Security benefits.
2. I ran previously in 2016 to provide
voters with the choice of my pro-worker
agenda that puts ordinary working people
first. I attended the University of Missouri-
St. Louis and ran a successful business
for 35 years before trying to apply what I
learned in the business world to a position
in the Missouri Senate.
State Rep - District 64
TONY LOVASCO* (R) • tonylovasco.com
1. The top priority of any elected official
should be to protect the individual liberty

of the citizens they represent. In additional
to that basic duty, I always prioritize property
rights, reducing government overreach
and criminal justice reform. In my
first term, I introduced bills to reduce regulations,
reform land use restrictions and
eliminate civil asset forfeiture. I intend to
continue to fight for these and other measures
if reelected.
2. I’ve held the office of state representative
for the last two years and have
firsthand knowledge about what it takes to
do the job. While there is always more to
learn about anything in life, I’m confident
that my work in Jefferson City makes me
the most qualified candidate in this race. In
addition to my legislative experience, I’ve
worked nearly 20 years in sales and am
quite comfortable dealing with diverse and
unique challenges.

impact these issues have on the residents
of District 64 and across Missouri. I am
prepared to bring integrated and dynamic
solutions that will create a brighter future
for Missourians.
2. Since moving to St. Charles County,
I have been dedicated to volunteering
and serving my community. In December
2018, I graduated from the University of
Missouri-St. Louis with a Bachelor’s of
Arts in political science just three months
after giving birth to my daughter. I am currently
pursuing a master’s of healthcare
administration at Maryvillle University to
understand the effects of natural disasters,
such as the flooding that affects our region,
on population health.
State Rep - District 70
JERRY ADZIMA (R) • jerryadzimamo.com
1. My priorities are making sure every
Missouri child can get a world-class education,
especially in establishing solid fundamentals
in Pre-K through fourth grade
and promoting STEM curriculum. I am
committed to reducing health care costs
in innovative ways, especially those that
cost little in implementation, but dramatically
affect costs, especially for those on
fixed-incomes. I will implement frequent,
on-going communication with voters
and create a new era of transparency and
accountability so you know if your REP
is working and what issues are being
addressed.
2. I’m a 25-year resident of District
70 and a small business owner for over
15 years. Let’s stop playing politics and
constant bickering. Coming together, we
can probably agree on 70% of the priorities.
Let’s charge ahead to get that accomplished
and improve the quality of life in
District 70. I’m running to ensure our children
and grandchildren have a transparent
and accountable government, world-class
educational opportunities, quality jobs and
affordable health care.
PAULA BROWN* (D) • paulabrown.org
1. My priorities are affordable healthcare
and prescription drugs for all Missourians;
quality education and transportation that
is appropriately funded; and good-paying
jobs and small business support to move
our economy forward.
2. As a former educator, I have served
thousands of families. As the president of
the local teacher association, I have served
over 1,300 teachers and administrators.
As the current state representative, I am
on seven committees and am the ranking
member of Education and Conservation
and Natural Resources. During the full

closures due to the pandemic, I delivered
food and groceries to those in need and
helped small business owners with obtaining
loans.
State Rep - District 102
RON HICKS* (R) • ronhicks.com
1. I will prioritize defending the Constitution
and standing with the principles of
rule-of-law, capitalism and individual liberty.
Lost revenue and additional spending
in response to COVID-19 also mean it is
more important than ever for me to advocate
for a budget that prioritizes essential
duties of government like infrastructure
and emergency services. Finally, I will
continue to keep an open line of communication
with the people of District 102 so I
can truly represent them.
2. I have six years of experience as a
legislator, so I can affect the most change
for our district. As a long time Missouri
resident and small business owner, I have
strong connections with our community.
My wife and I raised our children in St.
Charles County because we knew this was
the best place in America to do it. I know
firsthand the values that make our area
exceptional and I’ll fight for them!
TRACY GRUNDY (D) •
tracygrundy4missouri.com
1. I am running for office because I
believe that the current legislation in
Jefferson City has ignored the rights of
Missourians on multiple issues. My priorities
when I am elected will be to institute
a COVID-19 response and recovery
plan, make health care affordable to all
Missourians and enact sensible gun legislation.
2. My bachelor’s degree is in education
from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh
and my MBA was earned at the University
of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg,
Virginia. I have worked as a retail manager,
district manager and regional director and
as a human resources professional, specializing
in employee relations and recruiting.
Also, I have been active as a parent volunteer
for Francis Howell and currently
serve as the state membership director for
the Missouri Society of Human Resources
Management.
State Rep - District 103
JOHN D. WIEMANN* (R) •

1. I will work on legislation to reduce the
impact of COVID-19 on Missouri businesses
and citizens. Other priorities will
include greater penalties on individuals
who participate in civil unrest that results

Student awarded for
winning essay
On Oct. 7, Sts. Joachim and Ann School
announced that student Meghan Baumann
was the winner of the school’s PTO Essay
Scholarship for the year of 2020.
Every year, the school’s seventh grade
class is asked to write an essay summarizing
what they have learned and how
they have served during their time at Sts.
Joachim & Ann.
The essays are submitted to be reviewed
anonymously and then the PTO members
and various teachers score the essays; the
student who writes the winning essay gets
a $500 scholarship towards their eighthgrade
year. However, due to complications
caused by COVID-19, the contest was
delayed slightly.
In early October, Baumann was declared
the winner of the class. She is completing
her ninth year at Sts. Joachim and Ann
School.
Tennis champs make history
On Oct. 6, Lutheran High girls tennis
players Paige Renee Brown and Annaliese
Nichole Breite captured the MSHSAA
Class 1 District 7 Doubles Championship
title in a 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 match. This recent

Teens’ increased social media and technology use during the pandemic may
be connected to increases in cyberbullying.

health

By LISA RUSSELL
Cyberbullying may be more
prevalent during pandemic
For many adolescents and teens, social
distancing and remote learning during the
coronavirus pandemic means that their primary
interactions with peers are happening
online rather than in person. And that fact
may be leading to more instances of cyberbullying
– an increase of as much as 70%,
according to some initial research.
With or without a pandemic, however,
online bullying is a large and growing
problem. More than half of U.S. teens
have reported some type of experience with
cyberbullying, defined as aggressive online
behavior that includes harassment, insults,
threats, or spreading rumors. Nearly 20% of
U.S. high school students report being personally
cyberbullied at some point.
According to the CDC, young people
who experience bullying are at increased
risk for anxiety and depression, sleep difficulties
and problems with school, among
other issues.
Complicating this situation is the fact
that teens’ support networks are currently
more limited; many can’t visit a guidance
counselor, teacher or coach to talk about
what may be happening online or ask for
help. In many cases, they may not want to
talk to their parents either, out of concern
that their technology use will be restricted.
However, parents do play a key role in
how their kids interact with others online. A
recent New York University study showed
that adolescents who perceive their parents
to be loving are less likely to engage in
cyberbullying themselves. Other types of
emotional support, including how strongly
teens feel that their parents help and understand
them, also contributed to the likelihood
of whether young people engaged in
cyberbullying behavior, the study found.
It is especially important now for parents
to understand how children are cyberbullied
so action can be taken to stop it, the
NYU researchers said. They pointed out
some of the most common cyberbullying
tactics, which include:
• Posting comments or rumors about
someone online that are mean, hurtful, or
embarrassing.
• Threatening to hurt someone or telling
them to hurt themselves.
• Posting a mean or hurtful picture or
video.
• Pretending to be another person or creating
a false profile online in order to solicit
personal information about someone.
• Posting mean or hateful names, comments,
or content about someone based
on race, religion, ethnicity or other personal
characteristics.
• Creating a mean or hurtful webpage
about someone.
During October, which is National Bullying
Prevention Month, anti-bullying
organizations around the country focus on
bringing awareness to the important issue
of bullying. StopBullying.gov, sponsored
by the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services, also provides resources
to help parents prevent, respond to, and
take action against cyberbullying.
Analysis finds ‘herd immunity’
to COVID-19 still far off
Findings of a recent Stanford University
study seem to show that the U.S. remains
a far cry from achieving herd immunity to
the coronavirus. It suggests that just over
9% of Americans had developed antibodies
to the virus as of the end of July.
Herd immunity occurs when enough
of a population has developed protection
against a virus so that it can no
longer spread efficiently. In the case of
COVID-19, public health experts have
said that approximately 70% of the population
needs to develop antibodies to the
virus – either by becoming infected or by
receiving a vaccination – to achieve herd
immunity.
The Stanford study examined blood
plasma samples from more than 28,000
randomly selected people who received
dialysis treatments in 46 states this July.
Although they tended to be older and
included a higher percentage of men
than women, the researchers considered
the group to be an accurate barometer of
COVID-19 prevalence across the nation.
When the researchers adjusted their
results for the general population, they
concluded that an estimated 9.3% of the
U.S. population had developed antibodies
to the coronavirus by mid-summer. Perhaps
just as interestingly, their analysis
revealed that relatively few people found
to have antibodies – just 9.2% – had actually
received a diagnosis of COVID-19.
The study also found that the percentage
of people with antibodies differed greatly
from region to region. For example, it
was much higher in hard-hit northeastern
states, where an estimated 27.2% of the
national dialysis population tested positive
for antibodies. On the other hand, an estimated
3.5% of those in western states were
positive. Those living in the most densely
populated urban areas were 10 times more
likely to have antibodies.
“This research clearly confirms that
despite high rates of COVID-19 in the
(U.S.), the number of people with antibodies
is still low, and we haven’t come close
to achieving herd immunity,” said study
co-author Dr. Julie Parsonnet. “Until an
effective vaccine is approved, we need to
make sure our more vulnerable populations
are reached with prevention measures.”

in property destruction and injury to first
responders and innocent bystanders. Other
important priorities will include greater
government transparency, economic
growth and job creation, and the protection
of constitutional freedoms such as speech,
religion and the right to bear arms.
2. I believe my six years of public service
in the Missouri House along with 20
years of private sector business experience,
including 12 years as a small business
owner, demonstrate my ability to serve
in public office. In addition to my work
experience, I hold a bachelor’s degree in
business and a master’s in health administration
from the University of Missouri.
Finally, I am very active in many local
community and charitable organizations in
St. Charles County.
LISA REES (D) •
1. My top priorities if elected are expanding
Medicaid in Missouri, protecting the
rights of women and LGBTQ individuals,
support strong labor unions, working to
secure common sense gun regulations, and
protecting our elections. Placing people
over politics is the foundation of my campaign.
2. I have a passion for serving and have
a 30-plus year career in social work. I have
spent my professional career serving children,
youth and adults with mental illness
and chemical dependency through my work
at Every Child’s Hope, St. Joseph’s Hospital
and the Missouri Alliance for Children
and Families. I am endorsed by Everytown
for Gun Safety Action Fund and the
National Women’s Political Caucus, and
have the Gun Safety Candidate distinction

1. As I enter my second term, my priorities
have only been reinforced. Taking
care of our veterans, supporting our first
responders, improving education, and protecting
our constitutional liberties and the
rule of law.
2. I have the necessary experience to get
the job done. I sit on the House Committees
for Veterans, Homeland Security, Utilities
and Tourism. The Missouri Chamber
of Commerce has awarded me the Small
Business Champion Award for two years
running because of my work supporting
small business owners. I have also been
endorsed by the National Federation of

health care, investing in education and
infrastructure, empowering unions, investing
in sustainable energy and business
practices and ensuring that our state is the
best it can be for our families and neighbors.
2. I’m just a regular person who cares
about our community. I’m a young widow
who has worked in customer service,
bookkeeping and property management. I
understand the needs of regular folks. I’m
not some party insider who was handpicked
for this job, so I’ll be better able to
accurately represent the people when I get
to Jefferson City.

CHRISTINE HYMAN (D) •

1. My first priority is to get COVID-19
under control and involve the community
in decisions that impact them most. We
need to represent our constituency. When
voters pass something on the ballot, it’s the
job of those elected to uphold that voice.
Jobs and education: Our kids are the best
way for us to invest in our future and creating
a strong middle class starts with creating
a workforce filled by workers who live
in Missouri.
2. My career is human resources and
finance. Working in human resources has
given me the ability to listen and then act
in the most productive way. With a career
in finance, I have learned what it takes to
read and understand a budget, balance it
and know when it needs work. Our budget
needs work. As a mother, I know what it
takes to compromise and work across the
aisle for you.
State Rep - District 107
NICK SCHROER* (R) • nickforrep.com
1. My number one priority is to serve as a
strong voice for this district’s conservative
values. I am proud of the role I have played
in advancing local priorities, including
“back the blue” legislation to support law
enforcement, bills to protect our communities
from the threat of violent crime, and
pro-life legislation that has made Missouri
among the safest states in the nation for the
unborn.
2. It has been my honor to serve this
community since my election to the Missouri
House in 2016. I have fought hard

NEWS BRIEFS, from page 9
high in these reports in other years, this
news is especially good to hear in 2020,”
County Executive Steve Ehlmann said.
“The health and safety of our community
is of top priority and I am proud of the
work our public health department has
done to give our citizens the information
and programs they need to make good
choices.”
U.S. News & World Report evaluates
counties on 84 metrics across 10
health and health-related categories
which include population health, equity,
education, economy, housing, food and
nutrition, environment, public safety,
community vitality, and infrastructure. It
assesses which communities offer their
citizens the greatest opportunity to live
productive, healthy lives. The report
found that St. Charles County scored
better than the state and the nation in
percentage of residents who are in good
general health, engage in physical activity,
do not smoke, have health insurance,
and more. The report also considers factors
such as life expectancy and mental
health. The county’s overall score was
74 out of 100; the U.S. and Missouri both
rated 46.
Beyond the rankings, this report offers
data and insight on each of the thousands
of communities evaluated that educates
and informs consumers and policymakers
about what is occurring in their communities.
This year’s report includes new tools
that track COVID-19, and while specific
COVID data is not included in the analysis
and rankings, it does include data on
diseases relevant to the pandemic.
The report has been issued for three
years, and St. Charles County has ranked
well all three years. In 2019, the county
ranked 80th and in 2018, was 83rd.
This is the 11th consecutive year the
county has ranked among the top counties
for health outcomes and health
factors in the Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation and the University of Wisconsin’s
Population Health Institute
“County Health Rankings” report. St.
Charles County ranks second in the state
for both Health Outcomes and Health
Factors. These rankings are based on
public data collected from vital statistics
and government surveys. Health Outcomes
considers the length of life and
health status of residents; Health Factors
encompasses healthy behaviors, available
clinic care, education and income
levels.
“As public health professionals, staff
in the St. Charles County Department of
Public Health are dedicated to making
certain our residents have the tools and
education they need to choose healthy
lifestyles,” Health Department Director
Demetrius Cianci-Chapman said. “This
has been especially important this year
with COVID-19. My staff continues to
work diligently to meet the challenges of
2020, and it is rewarding to be recognized
for contributing to the good health status of
St. Charles County residents.”
