  • Impossible Trinity

    The most important election in St. Louis was decided in nail-biting fashion on March 5th, when twelve-year incumbent Lewis Reed retained his position as President of the Board of Aldermen (BOA) by winning the Democratic primary. Reed won the primary with only 35 percent of the vote; his two opponents, Missouri State Senator Jamilah Nasheed…

  • Getting Women In The Right House

    A record 125 women were elected to serve in the 116th U.S. Congress during the 2018 midterm elections, 40 of whom are new members. However, despite the fact that women make up 50 percent of the U.S. population, 125 seats is still only 22 percent of Congress. These proportions aren’t unique to the federal level…

  • Age Never Matters

    Commentators have a habit of describing a certain generation of people as sharing common characteristics by placing them in the same generational set. For example, people in their 20s and younger are known as millennials. The commentators called people born between 1946 and 1964 “baby boomers,” and people of a later generation “Generation X.” Critics…

  • The Democrats’ Problems For 2018

    The 2018 Midterms present the best opportunity for the Democratic Party to take back the House since they lost it in 2010. Trump is a historically unpopular President, history is on the Democrats’ side as the opposing party in a midterm election, and Democratic grassroots activism has skyrocketed. In theory, taking the 24 seats they…
