Hi I& #39;m doing research about who to vote for in the election because I try to be an informed voter and I& #39;m just gonna share a few things I& #39;ve noticed about the ballot I& #39;ll be given in my district in Missouri
Prologue: I ask my dad a lot about politics and voting and what something on the ballot REALLY means because while he is a republican he also deeply values the right to be an informed voter and tries to clearly explain who benefits from one thing or another.
1.0 So the website I& #39;m using to look at my ballot says MO governor is kind of a big race this year and I ask my dad his opinion on why and he gives me several reasons. My theory was that it had something to do with district lines because that& #39;s also on the ballot.
1.1 My dad proceeds to explain the history of MO& #39;s party using speech to text, so pls don& #39;t get his ass. He explains new redistricting under Clean Missouri and how it interacts with the 2 amendments on the ballot.
1.2 I& #39;m still a little confused, especially since his opinion is colored on the republican side, but I still know a lot more than before.
"I hope that helps"
"I hope that helps"
1.3 my dad tries to explain that MO dems are extremely left and I ask him why and he comes back saying that everyone running in politics is extreme. I skipped some of the 3rd message in these caps.
1.4 I also asked him specifically about our auditor @nicolergalloway and this cap features my own talk as someone taking Accounting 1 who knows little about politics.
I will now move into actually talking about research into MO governor.

2.0 Our current MO governor is Mike Parson (R) @GovParsonMO and is challenged by MO state auditor Nicole Galloway (D) @nicolergalloway. I attempted to look at both of them and their views so that I don& #39;t have to blindly vote for my party, but know that it& #39;s the right choice.
2.0.1 That being said, I have so many issues with trying to find Mike& #39;s views on the issues and while I was angry about it my friend said this:
2.1 according to the official MO governor website, he has 4 priorities: Stronger Communities, Workforce & Education, Infrastructure, and Gov. Reform. He has one paragraph on each and there is no way to read more about these priorities or other issues. I will keep searching.
2.1.1 Correction: there is a list of pdfs at the bottom of the page. These do not offer much more information than above and require effort to find, which is annoying when you& #39;re trying to be smart on twitter (laugh track).

2.1.2 I will now provide an intermission while I try to figure out what this man is all about because his other website doesn& #39;t have a clearly marked "issues" or "views" or "policies" page anywhere and it& #39;s 11pm so I may not come back to this till tomorrow.
No I have not forgotten about this thread. I am, however, constantly distracted by everything in my life including the need to cook food.
Next time on the adventures of me: will I ever find respect for Mike Parson and his web designer? Quite possibly never.
