Please follow Rene Vance for Mo to see how she's working hard for our community and to learn about her plans to help her neighbors in MO House District 52 and our state.

🤝 Showing up is what counts. Yesterday, I was incredibly proud to roll up my sleeves once again for the annual United Day of Action right here in our community.

For me, volunteering for this event isn't just a yearly tradition—it’s a reminder of what makes Pettis County so special. When neighbors show up for neighbors, we don't just complete projects; we strengthen the bonds that keep us united.

Leadership isn't about giving speeches from a distance; it's about being on the ground, doing the work, and listening to the people who make our district run. Thank you to everyone who stepped up, worked hard, and invested their time to make a difference yesterday!

Let's keep this momentum going all year long. ❤️

It's a beautiful day for a PEACEFUL PROTEST! NO KINGS. PRIDE IS DEMOCRACY! Today, 6/14/26, Pettis Co. Courthouse, 1-3 pm. JOIN US!

Grab a friend, or two, or three, and join us for NO KINGS, PRIDE IS DEMOCRACY! Sunday, June 14th, 1-3 pm, Pettis County Courthouse! We'll see you there!

One of the most common questions we get is: “How would 80% of Missourians pay more if income tax is repealed?”

Here’s why.

Missouri still has to pay for roads, schools, emergency services, public safety, and other essential services. If the state eliminates income tax revenue, that money has to come from somewhere else.

Under Amendment 5, the proposal allows lawmakers to increase and expand sales and use taxes to replace lost income tax revenue.

Sales taxes hit retirees and working families especially hard because everyone pays them, regardless of income. Groceries, clothing, household items, school supplies, vehicle purchases, online purchases, and everyday necessities could all become more expensive.

Higher-income earners generally benefit the most from eliminating income tax, while middle- and lower-income Missourians end up paying a larger share of their income through increased sales taxes.

That’s why many analysts estimate roughly 80% of Missourians would ultimately pay more overall.

Repealing income tax isn’t free. The cost just gets shifted elsewhere.

On August 4, vote NO on 5.
