Busted through gridlock to get results for Missouri—Worked with Republicans and Democrats to pass several bills that were signed into law by President Trump—five she sponsored, and another ten for which she wrote provisions or cosponsored. Those included the Arla Harrell Act for World War II veterans, legislation to protect against agro-terrorism, a bill to reduce the cost of prescription drugs through better competition and cut the cost of hearing aids, and legislation to boost oversight over taxpayer dollars

Heard directly from Missourians and raised their voices in the senate—Hosted 50 public, in-person town halls throughout Missouri—more than the rest of Missouri’s Congressional delegation have held combined—all but two in traditionally conservative counties that delivered double-digit victories for President Donald Trump last year

Protected families from sex trafficking—Used her experience as a former prosecutor to lead the fight to protect kids from sex trafficking—successfully shutting down the section of the notorious website Backpage where kids had been trafficked, and leading the bipartisan effort to better prevent online trafficking going forward

Worked to combat the opioid epidemic—Launched what has been called “the biggest Congressional investigation into the opioid crisis,” investigating the country’s top opioid manufacturers, and distributors—and continued work to secure federal resources for county prescription drug monitoring programs to curb “doctor-shopping”

Curbing the high price of prescription drugs—Held drug-makers, and the federal government, accountable for the rising cost of prescriptions—and passed a bipartisan law to help tackle those costs

Fought for Missouri’s working families—Continued her fight to protect pension and healthcare promises made to Missouri’s working families

Worked to boost Missouri jobs— Introduced legislation to boost job-creation by rewarding companies that “insource” jobs to the U.S. and ending tax breaks for those companies shipping jobs overseas, worked to improve internet access in rural communities, and passed a bill in the Senate—along with Republican Missouri Senator Roy Blunt—to return the historic Delta Queen steamboat to the waters and boost associated tourism jobs (efforts which contributed to her being honored by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce with the “Spirit of Enterprise” award)

Delivered for Missouri Veterans—Used her personal commitment, as the daughter of a World War II veteran, to wage a successful two-year battle for compensation for veterans deliberately exposed to mustard gas—and continued her work to improve VA services and accountability, using Missouri veterans’ confidential input

Cut waste and strengthened accountability in government—Used her experience as a Missouri prosecutor and auditor to find and cut waste, fraud, and abuse, and strengthen accountability in government—including passing a bill in the Senate to ban taxpayer funds from being used for oil paintings and portraits that can cost $20,000-$40,000, passing a law to cut government waste by standardizing information-sharing among federal agencies, leading the effort to prohibit taxpayer-funded bonuses to federal employees who have engaged in serious misconduct, and blowing the whistle on a federal contract that left taxpayers on the hook for over $50 million in questionable costs, including seven luxury vehicles (efforts which contributed to her being ranked by a non-partisan organization GovTrack as the top Senator for government transparency)

Fought for Missouri’s agricultural producers and rural communities—Passed a bipartisan law with Republican Senator Pat Roberts of Kansas to protect the agricultural industry against the threat of agro-terrorism, introduced a bill to cut duplicative approval processes for the use of standard pesticides, personally testified on behalf of Missouri soybean producers, successfully pressured Verizon to reverse course on plans to drop approximately 400 Missourians from access to wireless broadband service, and after discovering Missouri residents along the Missouri-Iowa border have been assigned Iowa mailing addresses for decades, began work to fix the problem

Bolstered american security and maintained Missouri’s role in the national defense—Used her role as the top-ranking Democrat on the Homeland Security Committee and a senior member of the Armed Services Committee to boost Missourians’ security—including introducing bipartisan legislation to bring together the intelligence, operational, and policy-making elements from across the government to devise joint strategies to deter and disrupt potential terrorist attacks, supporting the St. Louis Cardinals’ designation by the Homeland Security Department for anti-terrorism measures put in place, passing a bipartisan bill in the Senate that will help Missouri small businesses protect themselves against cyberattacks, and introducing the Boots on the Border Act to help U.S. Customs and Border Protection to fill vacancies by removing the requirement of a polygraph test for veterans who have a security clearance, federal law enforcement officers who have previously undergone a background check, and local and state law enforcement officers who have completed a polygraph for their current position.
