Fighting for
Missouri Families

When we talk about providing social services for senior citizens, children, expectant parents... those are your family members we want to uplift. House Democrats understand the importance of providing social services to all citizens, especially seniors, children, and those who cannot afford basic necessities. Those services ensure everyone can live lives of dignity and prosperity.

 

Our caucus has filed bills to provide tax relief to those who need it most and funding programs that help low-income families, seniors, and children. That includes services like fully funding Medicaid, providing food assistance to the children, making sure people can keep a roof over their heads, funding job training and employment opportunities, and more.
