Awards & Accomplishments

<p>The availability of fresh food and clean water is important to all of our citizens: urban, suburban, and rural. Joan looks forward to the good people of Missouri's 2nd Congressional District sending her to Congress to represent them on the House Committee on Agriculture.</p>

<h4>Former Farming Leaders Warn U.S. Agriculture Could Face ‘Widespread Collapse’</h4>

<p><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">The detrimental effects of Citizens United continue to erode our representative democracy. Time and again, voter will - both federally and statewide - has been ignored or undermined. In recent years, this has been evident as citizen-approved amendments have been overturned and the citizen initiative process, designed to protect our democratic functions, has been besieged by massive, external funding. Even initiatives like "Respect MO Voters" and "People Not Politicians" face legal challenges despite overwhelming citizen support.</span></p><p><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">I am committed to addressing this at the federal level, as well as, championing the principle of equality for all citizens. To that end, I will advocate for ratifying the Equal Rights Amendment and codifying Roe as the law of the land.</span></p>

<h2>Strengthen Our <br>Representative Democracy</h2>

<p>I will advocate for policies to expand access to quality healthcare, especially working to lower costs, and address staff shortages, through hiring incentives, to restore safe patient ratios. All communities shall have equal accessibility and quality services through enhanced health and mental wellness tools. Addressing the health and wellness of women and families is essential.</p>

<h2>Access to affordable,<br>quality healthcare</h2>

<p>Joan met with a group of LGBTQ+ Missourians over coffee to discuss her candidacy and to ask what was important to them. For LGBTQ+ voters in attendance, the conversation touched on concerns ranging from healthcare access and anti-discrimination protections to the broader tone of political discourse.</p>

<h4>Joan Meets With LGBTQ+ Community</h4>

<p>To attract families and businesses, we must reverse Missouri's current standing of 31st out of 50. I will achieve this by championing the full funding of our education system to empower teachers and parents, while leveraging targeted Federal resources of the Department of Education to ensure every student is protected and has access to a free world-class education, pre-K through high school.</p>

<h2>Return our schools<br>to educational excellence</h2>

<p>I will seek a seat on the House Agricultural Committee using this position to strengthen our local producers and protect the integrity of our national food and water supply. Our region is a center for international agriculture and agribusiness and 43% of the market flows through it. Advocating policy that will help us adapt to an evolving climate will be the best path forward for our economy.</p>

<h2>Ensure a safe &amp; fair<br>food supply for everyone</h2>

<p>I will hold regular town halls and keep open lines of communication because your stories and the needs of our District will underpin decisions in Washington. I will work for you, not for special interests.</p>

<h2>Our representatives<br>must be accessible</h2>

<p>The bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus unveiled its Affordability Agenda, a comprehensive proposal to lower the cost of living in the United States. Joining the caucus would allow Joan to continue her focus on solving problems and helping our communities thrive.</p>

<h4>Joan Hopes for Invite to Join the Problem Solvers Caucus</h4>

<p><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);"><strong style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo.</strong> — </span>Joan VonDras announced today that she will not actively participate as a candidate should ongoing litigation over Missouri's congressional district boundaries result in a new Democratic primary for Missouri's 2nd Congressional District, saying Democrats should instead focus their energy on defeating Congresswoman Ann Wagner in November.</p>

<h4>Joan VonDras thinks Democrats need to get serious about vetting candidates</h4>

<p>WEBSTER GROVES, MO.— VonDras for Congress today announced that Missouri District 2 Congressional Candidate, Joan VonDras, has been chosen to join the <a href="https://www.take-bac-congress.us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Take BAC Congress PAC (BAC)</a>. Like VonDras, BAC’s mission is to restore balance of power and accountability to our government.</p>

<h4>Joan Chosen to Join the Take BAC Congress PAC (BAC)</h4>

<p>I believe in the Problem Solvers Caucus's ethos of prioritizing common sense and national needs over division. This bipartisan spirit has delivered critical community investments for roads, clean water, and high-speed internet. I will seek membership to advance common-sense solutions and ensure our District receives its fair share of funding and results.</p><p><strong><br></strong></p>

<h2>Break through<br><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">partisan gridlock</span></h2>

<p>I will focus on affordability and economic opportunity for every family. I will promote American manufacturing, protect union jobs, and work to position the American workforce to lead the future frontier of industry and technology. This work is essential for safeguarding the US dollar's status as the world’s reserve currency and to protect and create high-paying jobs right here in our District.</p>
