My name is Scott Sifton, and I have a big announcement to share.

I love Missouri. And I can’t sit back and watch our two senators embarrass our state. One of them — Josh Hawley — spent the weeks after the election spewing dangerous conspiracy theories and trying to overturn the will of the people. And on January 6th, he pumped his fist in support of the very people who rioted at the Capitol.

And Senator Roy Blunt was too afraid to stand up to him and speak out.

Personally, I’ve had enough. We have big challenges here in Missouri. We don’t have time for senators more concerned with their own ambition than doing right by our families.

That’s why today I’m announcing my campaign for the United States Senate. Bob, I am asking for your support as we launch this race because Missouri deserves better >>

I know first-hand the challenges facing our working families. Growing up in Kansas City, my dad lost his job and we faced some tough times — we lost our home and even the family minivan. I started waiting tables at age 15 to help out, worked my way through college and then law school, eventually becoming a state legislator to help create opportunity for Missourians.

That kind of experience sticks with you.

I’ve taken on some of the toughest fights in Jefferson City, from going after corruption, defending women’s rights, standing up for equality and protecting Missouri workers.

Missourians deserve better than we are getting from Josh Hawley and Roy Blunt.

I know this race won’t be easy. Republicans have a large, expansive network of corporate and special-interest money at their disposal. We have to send a clear message that Missouri is worth fighting for and that we are capable of so much better than what our current Senators show the nation.

That’s why I’m asking for your help today >>

I look forward to hearing from you. I hope to earn your support as we build a campaign that Missouri can be proud of.

Thank you,

Scott Sifton

Bring your own beverages and lawn chairs just in case!. Hope to see you there!

We are pleased to announce Ann Zimpfer is our candidate for the 95th district.  She shared this with us to help get to know her!

My name is Ann Zimpfer and I am running for House Representative of the 95th district.  I am running because I strongly believe that we need change in the 95th district.  We need a candidate who truly wants to represent the folks in the 95th district.  

I grew up in Cape Girardeau.  My father taught at Southeast Missouri State University and my mother was President of the League of Women Voters during the 1970s.  I graduated from SEMO with a Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education.  I later completed my Master’s Degree in Education from Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar Missouri. 

My husband and I are both involved in Team Activities For Special Kids, TASK.   We have been active since its inception 24 years ago.  Our eldest son was on TASK’s first T-Ball team for children with special needs. TASK has expanded, over the years, to serve over 400 families.   We have served in many capacities with this nonprofit organization.  My husband currently serves as the President of the Board of Directors and I teach cooking and STEM classes.  I have also participated in their week long summer camp for over 15 years.  

Since filing for Representative we have been working on developing our campaign to have a strong plan as we enter this race.  I am excited about this run and the opportunity to be a true representative for the people in Oakville.

Our next club meeting on April 1st is cancelled. The County Executive has asked all meetings with 20 people in attendance be cancelled. In addition, the Missouri Democratic party has asked that all political meetings be cancelled. The Caucus to be held on April 6 is also cancelled. That caucus will be held within the congressional caucus on May 30. The location for the congressional caucus has not been determined. We will inform of that location when we have it. If you would like to be considered to be a delegate to the national convention you must fill out form MM by May 15 or at the congressional meeting. You can get the form from the Missouri Democratic Party. Any questions regarding the caucus contact Bob Ford or Joan Barry.

The primary will be held on March 10. The new system will print a ballot for each voter, a process which should take about 24 seconds.  All ballots will be ‘fill in the square,’ then feed the ballot into the counting machine. 

The ballot has more than 20 names – including many candidates who have withdrawn and others who are just on Missouri’s ballot.

Democrats are reminded that in order to participate in the caucus they must vote in the March 10 Democratic Presidential Primary.

The Oakville caucus will be held on April 6 at Oakville High School.  Doors will open at 6:00 p.m.  No one will be admitted after the 7:00 p.m. start. The number of delegates to be selected will be conveyed by the party to the club based on the election results.  At the caucus supporters of qualifying candidates will select delegates to the Congressional District meeting. 

At the Congressional meeting some delegates to the national convention (in Milwaukee in July) will be selected.  Others will be selected at the state meeting. 

Delegates to the national convention will be responsible for paying their expenses – around $5,000 – to the national convention.
