Black History Month Highlight: Rep. Kimberly-Ann Collins



State Representative Kimberly-Ann Collins, a Democrat, was first elected to represent the City of St. Louis in 2020 and is a lifelong resident North city St. Louis. She was also elected by her colleagues to serve as the Minority Caucus Vice-Chair for the 103rd General Assembly.


Collins' advocacy has been focused on reforming the state's correctional system and providing opportunities for families experiencing homelessness. Her leadership has seen multiple shelters opened in the City of St. Louis. Even in the few years she's served in the House of Representatives, Collins has conducted more than 200 prison pop-ups at all 19 correctional facilities in the state. Collins is dedicated to creating change in Missouri prisons through policy and boots on the ground support in both men and women prisons.


Collins graduated from the University of Missouri Kansas-City with a Bachelor of Science in Public Health Sciences and a minor of Arts in Chemistry. Although her background is in public health, her passion is serving her community.


Collins is the current President for The Ville/Greater Ville Neighborhood Association, Board member for Northside Youth and Senior Services, and a appointed member of the Missouri Justice Reinvestment Executive Oversight Council, which oversees and monitors the implementation of policies designed to reduce the prison population and make more efficient use of Missouri taxpayer dollars.


Representative Collins is the daughter of Dr. LaTonia Collins Smith, 21st president and the first Black woman president of Harris-Stowe State University.
