Crystal Quade
Growing up in rural Missouri, Crystal Quade often made the trek to help her mom prepare the diner where she worked double or triple shifts waitressing. They lived on a gravel road, and Crystal was the first in her family to graduate from high school. She worked her way through Missouri State, began her own family – and then became the Democratic Leader of the Missouri House of Representatives. Now Crystal is leading our most important fights to restore our abortion rights and championing working-class families. She’ll make Missouri the best place to live, work, and raise a family, by increasing wages, investing in public education, and making healthcare affordable.
