Pro-worker Trish Gunby ready to take on anti-worker Ann Wagner in 2nd Congressional District race
State. Rep. Trish Gunby (D-Ballwin) announced to St. Louis Labor Council delegates Nov. 16 that she is taking on Congresswomen Ann Wagner (R) in the Aug. 2022 primary.
Wagner voted AGAINST the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill that will bring almost $7 billion in new job-creating construction spending to Missouri. Representing Missouri’s 2nd District since 2013, Wagner has consistently voted against any and all legislation that would benefit working families but heartily supported the euphemistically named Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 that provided massive tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires but left working people holding the bag.
Proudly noting that she has supported the issues that are important to working families since winning election to the Missouri Legislature in 2019, Gunby is asking for Labor’s support.
Gunby believes Wagner’s anti-worker voting record, which stands in stark contrast to her own worker-oriented voting record, should make the difference in the election, allowing her to “bring a voice that is more in keeping with what I think the beliefs are in the 2nd Congressional District” to Washington.
