Emanuel Cleaver: “We're going to run, and we're going to run hard, no matter where we are.”

For more than a year, state officials have spent precious time, energy, and resources on an effort to silence the voices of Missouri voters and steal a congressional seat.

The joy, I think, now is generated by the fact that the people won this battle.

Despite the cynical and deeply shameful attempt to silence many of our neighbors, the people fought back and won.

We just received a healthy dose of encouragement that the voice of people in the United States still matters.
