Proud and Determined!

We are committed to ensuring our demonstrations are peaceful and constructive, fostering a positive community environment. We work closely with the St. Peters & Wentzville Police Departments, valuing collaboration for public order. If unlawful behavior arises, we will call on the police to maintain safety for all participants and local residents, reinforcing our dedication to peaceful advocacy and community harmony.

Core Principles of a Peaceful Demonstration

• Welcoming Environment: Encourage an inclusive atmosphere where participants, observers, and community members feel safe and respected.
• Focus on De-escalation: We are all called upon to focus on being respectful to participants and to observers.
  • St. Peters Ordinance specifically addresses the appropriate conduct and behavior at lawful peaceful assemblies. City of St Peters Chapter 390 Parades, Procession, Demonstrations
  • Wentzville Ordinance has very similar language for appropriate conduct and behavior at lawful peaceful assemblies. Wentzville Chapter 385 Parades, Processions and Demonstrations

The election results for St. Charles County can be found St. Charles County Election Authority.

We had a strong voter turnout in the August 2026 Primary election. Typical voter turnout in a primary race is around 25%, but this year we witnessed an impressive turnout of 35.9%! This increase in participation demonstrates that the community is engaged and motivated when it comes to exercising their right to vote. People are paying attention and actively voting for democracy!

In this election, St. Charles County voters showed overwhelming support for maintaining our state’s simple majority rule and keeping the Citizen’s Initiative Process intact, resulting in the defeat of Amendment 4. This outcome highlights the voters’ desire to preserve democratic processes that allow for meaningful citizen involvement in governance. Additionally, voters expressed strong opposition to proposals that aimed to eliminate the State Income Tax and grant the legislature unchecked authority to increase sales taxes at will, leading to the defeat of Amendment 5 as well.

We have just 5 days until August 4th!

First part of the plan should be to determine which ballot you will choose. Primaries are the “semifinals” of the political process. Instead of competing against the opposing party, candidates from the same party run against each other to win their party’s official nomination. You should have received copies of your sample ballot choices from St. Charles County Election Authority.

If you have misplaced your sample ballot you can use the St. Charles County Election Authority Ballot Look Up Tool: Ballot Look Up Tool

Missouri is an Open Primary State. You do not need to be registered as a Democrat, Republican or Libertarian to choose the ballot you will vote on. If you just want to vote on the amendments you can choose a Non-Partisan ballot.

In these days of great political divide remember it is most important for our voices to be heard!!!

This August Primary has very key Amendments that will greatly impact our rights as Missouri Citizens. The Ads on these amendments are very mis-leading and some down right lie about what is in the Amendment.

Here is a quick rundown of the Amendments:

If we can help answer any questions you may have or topics you would like to discuss feel free to reach us at indivisiblewwp@gmail.com

In an effort to get information to our Indivisible members for the upcoming August 4th Primary Election we have reached out to each candidate appearing on the St. Charles County Ballot. We asked candidates to share their views on the upcoming Missouri Amendments.

Here are the responses:

Amendment 1

Constitutional Amendment 1 (Parks & Conservation Sales Tax Renewal)

• Context: This measure renews the existing 0.1% (one-tenth of one percent) state sales and use tax for an additional 10 years to fund Missouri state parks, historic sites, and soil and water conservation programs. It generates approximately $140 million annually without increasing or decreasing current tax rates.

Office	Candidate	Position	Comments
State Auditor	Scott Fitzpatrick (R)	Did Not Respond
State Auditor	Gerald Wistrand, Jr (R)	No	I believe we need to simply our taxing and spending processes to be readily accountable and transparent to the citizens of Missouri. I believe this taxation and spending should be directly included and accounted for in the general revenues and expense budget and statement.
State Auditor	Quentin Wilson (D)	Did Not Respond
State Auditor	Gregory Upchurch (D)	Did Not Respond
State Auditor	Dustin Coffell (L)	No	While I encourage all Missourians to get out and enjoy their state parks andhistoric sites, as well as acting as conservationists in whatever way they can personally, I cannot endorse the government simply skimming money for funding these endeavors. Persons wishing to visit these sites should be willing to foot the cost themselves, leaving alone those who do not wish to do so. Ultimately, no one will really notice a 0.1% increase or decrease in the sales tax, but on principle, I must oppose it.
US House Rep District 3	Bob Onder (R)	Did Not Respond
US House Rep District 3	John Fraser (R)	Did Not Respond
US House Rep District 3	Bethany Mann (D)	Did Not Respond
US House Rep District 3	Paul Wilson (D)	Did Not Respond
US House Rep District 3	Tommy Holstein (D)	Yes	Now is not the time to defund our Parks and Conservation efforts in Missouri.
US House Rep District 3	Jim Higgins (L)	No email or website form found
State Senate District 2	Nick Schroer (R)	Did Not Respond
State Senate District 2	Susan Shumway (D)	Did Not Respond

State Senate District 10	Pablo John Los (D)	No email or website form found
State Senate District 10	John Wells (D)	Yes	The soil tax has worked well for years and we should keep it.
State House District 63	Tony Lovasco (R)	No email or website form found

State House District 69	Chris Chapman (D)	Did Not Respond
State House District 102	Richard West (R)	Did Not Respond
State House District 102	David Rogers (D)	Yes	This measure will not raise new taxes, but it will enable Missouri to continue to provide for our community shared spaces the make this one of the most beautiful and enjoyable places to live.
State House District 103	David Hinman (R)	Did Not Respond
State House District 103	Don Crozier (D)	Yes	One of the best things that Missouri has done

State House District 105	Collin Wellenkamp (R)	Did Not Respond
State House District 105	Cat Clayton (D)	Did Not Respond
State House District 106	Travis Wilson (R)	Did Not Respond
State House District 106	Chris Sander (R)	No email or website form found
State House District 106	Jewel Kelly (D)	Yes	Yes. I support renewing the existing parks, historic sites, soil, and water conservation sales tax. It does not raise the current tax rate; it keeps a proven investment working for Missouri. Parks, clean water, healthy soil, and outdoor spaces belong to all of us—not just people with money or private land. This meets my standard: Legal. Safe. Fair. It is legal because voters decide. It is safe because conservation protects our water, land, and future. It is fair because every community benefits when Missouri protects its natural resources.
State House District 107	Mark Matthiesen (R)	Did Not Respond
State House District 107	Gary Wester (D)	Yes	The Missouri Parks and Conservation Sales Tax is a dedicated tax of 0.1% that funds state parks and soil and water conservation efforts. This tax was first approved by voters in 1984 and has been renewed multiple times, providing significant financial support for conservation and park operations in the state.
State House District 108	Mike Costlow (R)	Did Not Respond
State House District 108	Max Calfo (R)	Did Not Respond
State House District 108	Stephen Scott (D)	Yes	I support public services and I support taxes that go to parks and conservation.

St. Charles County Executive	Arnie C AC Dienhoff (R)	No email or website form found
St. Charles County Executive	Bill Eigel (R)	Did Not Respond
St. Charles County Executive	Steve Ehlmann (R)	Did Not Respond
St. Charles County Executive	David Veneziano (D)	Yes	The funds from this tax do more than just protect our parks. They protect our environment, our water, our air, and our wildlife. Keeping this tax in place is a must.
St. Charles County Executive	Carl Herman Freese (L)	Did Not Respond
St. Charles County Assessor	Travis Welge (R)	Did Not Respond

St. Charles County Collector of Revenue	Erica Bridges (R)	Did Not Respond
St. Charles County Director of Elections	Jen Olson (R)	Did Not Respond
St. Charles County Director of Elections	Kurt Bahr (R)	Unable to answer	I do not feel is appropriate to publicly endorse or oppose ballot measures since I will certify the election results including those ballot measures. Therefore I am unable to answer this survey.
St. Charles County Prosecuting Attorney	Joseph G. McCulloch (R)	Did Not Respond
St. Charles County Recorder of Deeds	Mary Dempsey (R)	Did Not Respond

Amendment 2

Constitutional Amendment 2 (Mandatory Elected County Assessors)

• Context: This measure requires all Missouri charter counties (including Jackson County, which currently uses an appointed system) to establish an elected county assessor position, and mandates that all charter county assessors comply with state-established training requirements.

Office	Candidate	Position	Comments
State Auditor	Scott Fitzpatrick (R)	Did Not Respond
State Auditor	Gerald Wistrand, Jr (R)	Yes	The elected assessor requirements for elected assessor only affects Jackson County which is the sole hold from assessors being elected. We have seen the affects of the assessor being appointed by the county executive, which is a big reason why I am running to support and defend the rights of all citizens. The training requirement is not a bad idea. The county assessors should have a certain level of training once they attain the office. They would not be required to fully follow such specifics introduced; however, it would provide a base level of knowledge to make educated decisions for their citizens.
State Auditor	Quentin Wilson (D)	Did Not Respond
State Auditor	Gregory Upchurch (D)	Did Not Respond
State Auditor	Dustin Coffell (L)	No	Charter counties have a foundational document that may be amended by their citizens. While I feel that county assessors should be directly elected and answerable to the citizens they are serving, the state does not need to mandate this.
US House Rep District 3	Bob Onder (R)	Did Not Respond
US House Rep District 3	John Fraser (R)	Did Not Respond
US House Rep District 3	Bethany Mann (D)	Did Not Respond
US House Rep District 3	Paul Wilson (D)	Did Not Respond
US House Rep District 3	Tommy Holstein (D)	Yes	All counties should be able to elect their assessors should they choose to do so, and Jackson County insists it would like to.
US House Rep District 3	Jim Higgins (L)	No email or website form found
State Senate District 2	Nick Schroer (R)	Did Not Respond
State Senate District 2	Susan Shumway (D)	Did Not Respond
State Senate District 2	Michael Sinclair (D)	Not Applicable	No Additional Comment
State Senate District 10	Tricia Byrnes (R)	Did Not Respond
State Senate District 10	Mike Deering(R)	Did Not Respond
State Senate District 10	Pablo John Los (D)	No email or website form found
State Senate District 10	John Wells (D)	No	Because it only affects Jackson County. Let them work it out.
State House District 63	Tony Lovasco (R)	No email or website form found
State House District 63	Donald Looney, Jr (D)	Did Not Respond
State House District 64	Jason Iannantuoni (R)	No email or website form found
State House District 64	Deanna Self (R)	Did Not Respond
State House District 64	Amber Teson (D)	Did Not Respond

State House District 69	Chris Chapman (R)	Did Not Respond
State House District 102	Richard West (R)	Did Not Respond
State House District 102	David Rogers	No	While I support those in Jackson County being able to elect their leadership,as a matter of principle, I cannot support the use of state constitutional changes that target how a county functions.
State House District 103	David Hinman (R)	Did Not Respond
State House District 103	Don Crozier (D)	Yes	No Additional Comment
State House District 104	Terri Violet (R)	Did Not Respond

State House District 105	Collin Wellenkamp (R)	Did Not Respond
State House District 105	Cat Clayton (D)	Did Not Respond
State House District 106	Travis Wilson (R)	Did Not Respond
State House District 106	Chris Sander (R)	Did Not Respond
State House District 106	Jewel Kelly (D)	Undecided	Undecided. I believe property assessments must be clear, honest, trained, and accountable to the public. Families should not be surprised by unfair assessments or confusing government decisions.
State House District 107	Mark Matthiesen (R)	Did Not Respond
State House District 107	Gary Wester (D)	Undecided	The only holdout for electing a county assessor was Jackson County. The county charter was amended on November 4, 2025 with more than 88% of the voters passing the amendment. The amendment therefore will only apply to any new charter county that comes into existence after this date.
State House District 108	Mike Costlow (R)	Did Not Respond
State House District 108	Max Calfo (R)	Did Not Respond
State House District 108	Stephen Scott (D)	Undecided	I need more time to research this topic.
Circuit Judge Circuit 11 Division 1	Brittany Smith (R)	Did Not Respond
St. Charles County Executive	Jason Law (R)	Did Not Respond
St. Charles County Executive	Arnie C AC Dienhoff (R)	No email or website form found
St. Charles County Executive	Bill Eigel (R)	Did Not Respond
St. Charles County Executive	Steve Ehlmann (R)	Did Not Respond
St. Charles County Executive	David Veneziano (D)	Undecided	A Yes vote makes the constitution two lines shorter but changes nothing. A No vote keeps the constitution the same but changes nothing.

St. Charles County Assessor	Travis Welge (R)	Did Not Respond
St. Charles County Collector of Revenue	Michelle D. McBride (R)	Did Not Respond

County Council District 5	Terry Hollander (R)	Did Not Respond
County Council District 5	Judi Gambino (R)	Did Not Respond
County Council District 7	Tim Baker (R)	Yes	I dont have much of an opinion on this issue but will probably vote YES because it lets the citizens decide

Amendment 3 (appears on Nov ballot)

Constitutional Amendment 3 (Reproductive Rights & Minor Care Reversal)

• Context: This measure would repeal the 2024 voter-approved reproductive rights amendment, allow the state to regulate abortion with exceptions up to 12 weeks for rape/incest, and constitutionally prohibit gender transition procedures for minors under 18.

Office	Candidate	Position	Comments
State Auditor	Scott Fitzpatrick (R)	Did Not respond
State Auditor	Gerald Wistrand, Jr (R)	Did Not Respond
State Auditor	Quentin Wilson (D)	Did Not Respond
State Auditor	Gregory Upchurch (D)	Yes	This is such a serious and contentious issue, that in order to be an amendment to the state constitution, not just a statute, it should have a higher level of statewide approval. The Amendment 4 citizen initiative level of statewide majority and majority from each congressional district is going overboard; however, it should be a higher level of ratification (like amendments to our U.S. Constitution). So once a more viable and acceptable increased level is agreed to, then the amendment could be proposed again. However, in the meantime, the state legislature could propose a statute for voter approval which may have a lower level of ratification.
State Auditor	Dustin Coffell (L)	No	The government should have zero involvement in the actual performance and provision of medical care, outside of making it available and safe. Period, full stop, end of story.
US House Rep District 3	Bob Onder (R)	Did Not Respond
US House Rep District 3	John Fraser (R)	Did Not Respond
US House Rep District 3	Bethany Mann (D)	Did Not Respond

State House District 102	Richard West (R)	Did Not Respond
State House District 102	David Rogers (D)	No	Bodily autonomy is a basic human right, period. A person’s control of their body belongs to them alone, under the advice of medical professionals. Furthermore, when laws seek to limit the options available to minors, they use state authority to strip away parent rights. The people of Missouri decided they support access to abortion and this measure is aimed at controlling people and using culture wars to rally votes instead of doing the work of the people.

State House District 106	Jewel Kelly (D)	No	No. I could not be more against Amendment 3. Missourians already voted to restore reproductive freedom. This amendment would take that right back, put politicians between patients and doctors, and target young people’s private medical decisions. That fails my Legal. Safe. Fair. test. It ignores the voters and makes medical care less safe. That is not justice, safety, or fairness. I will vote No and urge others to vote No.
State House District 107	Mark Matthiesen (R)	Did Not Respond
State House District 107	Gary Wester (D)	No	The only issue in this campaign when it comes to abortion is that my opponent voted to overturn the will of the people to make abortion illegal putting the health and lives of Missouri women at risk. I find this profoundly disturbing. I will closely review every bill that comes before me, but I will never vote for any legislation that puts the health and lives of Missouri women at risk.

If women want to get abortions, then fine but I dont want my taxes to pay for what democrats call “a medical procedure because it’s a clump of cells”. I dont get my hernia (a medical procedure) paid for by the taxpayers so why should I pay for their medical procedure. This should be done by a doctor and not paid by me. I will vote yes strictly due to the fact that I dont think any person younger than 18 should get gender transition surgeries.

Amendment 4

 Constitutional Amendment 4 (Initiative Process Reform / Concurrent Majority Requirement)

• Context: This measure modifies the current simple statewide majority rule for citizen initiative petitions only, requiring a majority vote in each of Missouri’s eight congressional districts for a constitutional amendment to pass

Office	Candidate	Position	Comments
State Auditor	Scott Fitzpatrick (R)	Did Not Respond
State Auditor	Gerald Wistrand, Jr (R)	No	Other aspects of this amendment, i.e., eliminating foreign money into state campaigns is good, but may be proposed as a state law or a stature ballot proposal. However, requiring majority vote in the state overall, and in each congressional district is unacceptable. It would make citizen-proposed ballot initiatives next to impossible to pass. Many agree a state constitutional amendment should require a higher level for ratification amendments to the U.S. Constitution require 3/4 of the states to approve. Requiring all congressional districts to agree makes this proposal unfeasible.Additionally, the hypocrisy that legislatively-proposed amendments would not have to meet the higher ratification level as well is absurd. Why should the citizens of Missouri have to give away their constitutional right to reverse legislative actions or the ability to propose changes the legislature fails to propose in order to have greater control of influence over amendments.
State Auditor	Quentin Wilson (D)	Did Not Respond
State Auditor	Gregory Upchurch (D)	Did Not Respond
State Auditor	Dustin Coffell (L)	No	I’ll illustrate with some simple math: MO congressional districts have a populationof roughly 770K, with around 78% of the MO population being of voting age. This gives us 600K voting-age Missourians per district. Voter turnout in the past two midterm cycles was roughly 50%, leaving us 300K voters. A majority is half plus one, so call this threshold 150K. Missouri’s 2020 Census voting-age population was roughly 4.8M. Taking the 50% turnout number, we’re left with 2.4M. 150K of 2.4M is 6.25% of likely voters effectively vetoing a proposed amendment. This is bad governance.

State House District 102	Richard West (R)	Did Not Respond
State House District 102	David Rogers (D)	No	This is an attempt to limit the power of the majority of the people of Missouri to correct overreach. Our state has had and often used the ballot initiative process to stop the state assembly from encroaching on the rights of the people. If this measure passes, the state assembly will have no worry of people overturning their oversteps and the further gerrymandering of our state will further entrench the majority.

State House District 106	Chris Sander (R)	No email or website form found
State House District 106	Jewel Kelly (D)	No	No. I could not be more against Amendment 4. One person, one vote should mean the statewide majority decides statewide amendments. This measure would let one congressional district block what most Missourians vote for. That is not fair—especially when district lines are drawn by politicians. It makes it harder for regular people to use the ballot when Jefferson City refuses to listen. My campaign stands for fair maps and your voice. Amendment 4 fails the Legal. Safe. Fair. test because it protects power, not voters. I will vote No and urge others to vote No.
State House District 107	Mark Matthiesen (R)	Did Not Respond
State House District 107	Gary Wester (D)	No	Amendment 4 is the latest attack in a decades-long effort by Jefferson City politicians to weaken Missouri’s citizen initiative petition process and make it harder for voters to have the final say. Under Amendment 4, a citizen-led initiative petition would need to win a majority in each of Missouri’s eight congressional districts to pass while the amendments proposed by the legislature will only require a simple majority. Amendment 4 will allow a minority of Missouri’s voters to have the ability to veto any citizen-led initiative petition undermining the majority rule.
State House District 108	Mike Costlow (R)	Did Not Respond
State House District 108	Max Calfo (R)	Did Not Respond
State House District 108	Stephen Scott(D)	No	The goal of this is to make it harder for the initiative petition process to succeed. I believe in the IP process especially when there is a super majority in office.

Amendment 5

Constitutional Amendment 5 (Income Tax Phase-Out)

• Context: This measure requires the systematic phase-out and eventual elimination of the state individual income tax based on revenue growth metrics, while authorizing the expansion of certain sales and use taxes.

Office	Candidate	Position	Comments
State Auditor	Scott Fitzpatrick (R)	Did Not Respond
State Auditor	Gerald Wistrand, Jr (R)	No	This proposal has a lot of commentary not in the amendment’s text. No guardrails protect the citizens of Missouri. There is no guarantee citizens would not pay more taxes than currently. The middle class and people on fixed incomes would have a greater percentage of their income taken in sales tax while the more affluent would not be paying the same level of taxes they currently pay.The Hancock amendment, of citizen approval, is suspended for five years. The legislators have proven they do not always have the interests of the citizens as their top priority. These are the same legislators that passed the Stadium Billionaire Bailout and the utility Construction Work in Progress Billing bills in 2024. Without citizen oversight, implementation as a constitutional amendment is too dangerous. The legislators have the direct ability to eliminate the income tax through their own legislation.
State Auditor	Quentin Wilson (D)	Did Not Respond
State Auditor	Gregory Upchurch (D)	Did Not Respond
State Auditor	Dustin Coffell (L)	No	This amendment would effectively gut the Hancock Amendment for five years, giving the General Assembly carte blanche to impose new sales and use taxes, and increase existing sales and use taxes without going to the voters for what is currently constitutionally- mandated approval. I don’t trust the General Assembly to do this right, do it well, or do it without significantly harming the lower- and middle-class in Missouri. I’m no fan of the income tax, but this is absolutely the wrong way to go about changing how we fund state government.

US House Rep District 3	Bethany Mann (D)	Did Not Respond
US House Rep District 3	Paul Wilson (D)	Did Not Respond
US House Rep District 3	Tommy Holstein (D)	No	This is an everything tax that will put an even greater tax burden on poor and working class families while the 1% of this state have tens of thousands of dollars to hoard for themselves.

State House District 102	Richard West (R)	Did Not Respond
State House District 102	David Rogers (D)	No	This is a truly terrible plan backed by those who do NOT have the best interest of the working people of Missouri. School districts will lose funding, people’s daily bills will go up, and businesses WILL close. Taxes definitely can be altered to lower the burden on working families, however this is NOT the change we need.
State House District 103	David Hinman (R)	Did Not Respond
State House District 103	Don Crozier (D)	No	Our current system works quite well, this will hurt the poor and benefit the rich, the exact opposite of what we should be doing

State House District 106	Chris Sander (R)	No email or website form found
State House District 106	Jewel Kelly	No	No. I could not be more against Amendment 5. I am for lower costs, but this is the wrong way. Eliminating the income tax and expanding sales taxes risks shifting costs onto working families, seniors, and small businesses at the register and on basic services. It also puts pressure on schools, roads, public safety, health care, and mental-health services. That is not safe for communities and not fair to families living paycheck to paycheck. Lower costs should mean real savings and not a tax shell game. Amendment 5 fails Legal. Safe. Fair. I will vote No and urge others to vote No.
State House District 107	Mark Matthiesen (R)	Did Not Respond
State House District 107	Gary Wester (D)	No	Amendment 5 would give Jefferson City politicians permission to ignore constitutional taxpayer protections and hand them a blank check to raise taxes without a vote of the people. This amendment allows the expansion of sales tax to all services for the first time in Missouri history and allows lawmakers to potentially triple the average combined sales tax rate to 16% or higher on everything you buy. This is a regressive tax that will disproportionately affect lower wage earners.
State House District 108	Mike Costlow (R)	Did Not Respond
State House District 108	Max Calfo (R)	Did Not Respond
State House District 108	Stephen Scott (D)	No	This shifts the tax burden to the working class rather than spread out to all property owners. It also causes some issues with taxing services that are not clearly defined.

St. Charles County Executive	Bill Eigel (R)	Did Not Respond
St. Charles County Executive	Steve Ehlmann (R)	Did Not Respond
St. Charles County Executive	David Veneziano (D)	No	This is all about removing progressive taxation and replacing it with regressive taxation. The people who proposed this bill did so with the intent of further enriching the rich. The cost of doing so will be felt by 80% of Missourians. Vote No and tell your friends and family to do the same.

Please remember, Missouri is an Open Primary State. When you go to vote for the August Primary you will have a choice to make upfront. “Open Primary” means you do not have to be “registered” as a member of a specific party. You simply pick the party of the candidates you want to choose from in this primary election. If you just want to vote on the amendments you may choose the Non-Partisan Ballot option.

• Republican Ballot
• Democrat Ballot
• Libertarian Ballot
• Non-Partisan Ballot (will only contain amendments)

To see the actual sample ballots go to St. Charles County Elections Website: Ballot Look Up Tool

To help you find some answers, we have sent the following questions to each of the Missouri State and St. Charles County Candidates on the St. Charles County Ballot. We have asked their response by July 17th. We will compile the responses and post them to this website.

Please provide a brief Yes / No / Undecided stance along with any brief commentary (maximum 150 words per issue) on the following constitutional amendments. We will copy and paste your responses to the website.  If you wish to have a link posted please provide that in the comments section.  1. Constitutional Amendment 1 (Parks & Conservation Sales Tax Renewal) Context: This measure renews the existing 0.1% (one-tenth of one percent) state sales and use tax for an additional 10 years to fund Missouri state parks, historic sites, and soil and water conservation programs. It generates approximately $140 million annually without increasing or decreasing current tax rates. Your Position: [ Yes / No / Undecided ] Commentary: 2. Constitutional Amendment 2 (Mandatory Elected County Assessors) Context: This measure requires all Missouri charter counties (including Jackson County, which currently uses an appointed system) to establish an elected county assessor position, and mandates that all charter county assessors comply with state-established training requirements. Your Position: [ Yes / No / Undecided ] Commentary: 3. Constitutional Amendment 3 (Reproductive Rights & Minor Care Reversal) Context: This measure would repeal the 2024 voter-approved reproductive rights amendment, allow the state to regulate abortion with exceptions up to 12 weeks for rape/incest, and constitutionally prohibit gender transition procedures for minors under 18. Your Position: [ Yes / No / Undecided ] Commentary: 4. Constitutional Amendment 4 (IP Reform / Concurrent Majority Requirement) Context: This measure modifies the current simple statewide majority rule for citizen initiative petitions only, requiring a majority vote in each of Missouri’s eight congressional districts for a constitutional amendment to pass. Your Position: [ Yes / No / Undecided ] Commentary: 5. Constitutional Amendment 5 (Income Tax Phase-Out) Context: This measure requires the systematic phase-out and eventual elimination of the state individual income tax based on revenue growth metrics, while authorizing the expansion of certain sales and use taxes. Your Position: [ Yes / No / Undecided ] Commentary: To ensure your perspectives are included in our community update, please reply to this email by Friday, July 17th at 5:00 PM. If we do not receive a response, we will note “Did Not Respond” next to your name in our materials.

Thank you to all who participated in the 4th July Parade in Wentzville!

Your dedication and support in bringing this effort together is truly appreciated! It was heartwarming to see our community come together in such a vibrant celebration of independence and unity.

The float turned out beautifully, exceeding our expectations! Special thanks to Cindi for the wonderful and inspiring design that we will be able to use in future parades. Your creativity has certainly set the bar high! Thank you also to Judy and John for bringing this extraordinary design to life. Judy was the absolute best project manager, keeping everything organized and ensuring that every detail was perfect! John’s craftsmanship truly can’t be beat; his skills certainly shone through the intricate details of the float.

Despite the heat, we had a fantastic time walking, waving, and engaging with the tremendous number of parade watchers. The sense of joy and camaraderie was palpable, as we shared music, laughter, and candy with everyone along the route. Moments like these remind us of the spirit of our community and the importance of coming together to celebrate our shared values. We can’t wait to see what the next parade will bring!

Thank you for attending our meeting Tuesday, June 16th. We had a dynamic group and enjoyed the discussion! Mark your calendar for our next meeting Jul 21, 2026 6:00 Spencer Road Branch of St. Charles County Library Room N.

Here is a recap for those unable to make the meeting.

Cheri Crockett introduced our new effort to Get Out the Vote in St. Charles County.

The idea here is to leverage the passion of all who have participated in gaining signatures from over 50% of county residents on the petitions that will be on the November ballot. We need to work to ensure these amendments are passed and elect candidates who will respect the votes of the people.

The plan is to educate voters on the amendments for the Primary Election in August and the General Election in November. The plan is to focus our training on:

• YOU SIGNED THE PETITION, NOW ELECT THE CANDIDATES WHO SUPPORT IT!
• TAKE THE NEXT STEP/VOTE THEM OUT!

We plan on creating a website with information and details surrounding the amendments and candidates. Printing the QR codes on hand out materials, volunteers will reach out to voters sharing the information and asking them to follow up by looking at the details about the amendments and encouraging them to vote! If you would like to get involved and help us with this effort. Please, send an email to indivisiblewwp@gmail.com

Here is a recap for those unable to make the meeting.

Several candidates for the August Primary election were able to make the meeting:

Here is a link to the meeting agenda: Indivisible We Will Persist April 2026 Agenda

We had good discussions on various items in the presentation Indivisible We Will Persist Moving Forward Presentation. Please, take a look for ideas on how you can get involved in our democracy IWWP Moving Forward

We also had a spokesperson from the MICA Project. They are currently trying to get grassroots efforts going for a St. Charles MICA Chapter. Please check out there website as well: https://www.mica-project.org/

Indivisible We Will Persist relies entirely on supporters like you. We receive no funding from National Indivisible and depend on your generosity. We dislike asking for donations as much as you dislike hearing requests for donations. And, every organization that is working to protect our democracy needs resources right now.

IWWP is adopting a new strategy: when someone donates a specific dollar amount, they receive a Thank You gift in return. This method has proven effective for other Indivisible Chapters. We tried it out with our IWWP T-shirts and saw positive results. Now, we want to expand this idea. That’s why we are “Looking for CRAFTY People”. We want to create unique, one-of-a-kind Hand-Crafted items.

Could this be the Do Something project you’ve been looking for?

Here is what WE need to get started:

• Suggestions for potential items that are:
  • Cost-effective to produce
  • Easily assembled by volunteers using basic instructions and common tools
  • Compact and suitable for convenient transport to events

• Volunteers (this means YOU) willing to:
  • Teach others how to create selected projects
  • Learn how to create the selected projects while you learn a new skill
  • Initiate your own projects independently

Ok all you CRAFTERS, it’s time to put on your thinking caps, dust off that unused cricut, dig out your sewing machine from the bottom of the closet, locate your scissors, shake up your craft paint, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, FILL OUT THE VOLUNTEER FORM.

SPECIAL REQUEST: One particular project that has been very successful for an Indivisible Group in California is Friendship bracelets with encrypted messages in Morse Code like RESIST, STRENGTH, FREEDOM, (and their most popular) F#@! TRUMP. If you have experience in making wax cord Friendship bracelets, WE SURE WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO YOU!

The official election results for St. Charles County can be found St. Charles County Election Authority

We had a strong election in support of ensuring our county retains strong school boards committed to education and families. All the winning candidates were endorsed by one of our partner organizations St. Charles County Families for Public Schools.

We successfully pushed back on Proposition RT, freezing of Real Estate Taxes that would have greatly impacted the future funding our schools, libraries, fire and EMS districts. We successfully voted down increases in sales tax for Fire and EMS districts.

Click here St. Charles County Election Authority to get information on all of the races you voted in.

Let’s begin the work of holding our elected officials accountable to act on our behalf. Hold them to standards that ensure our Democracy is what we want to see in St. Charles County.

We can no longer just vote on election day, we must work on a regular basis to have oversight to what our elected officials are doing on our behalf.

Go check your municipality for dates and times of meetings. Check your school board and library for dates and times of meetings. Make a commitment to yourself to engage with local officials to ensure they hear your voice. We have the power to make a difference but we cannot do so by staying silent and not taking action!

Our next election will be August 4, 2026 and will be State and Federal Primary Election. I hope we as a community can come together to support candidates that we know will ensure the future of our community. If you are interested in participating in a vetting process for state and federal candidates please let us know by sending an email to IndivisibleWWP@gmail.com.

Be certain to vote on or before April 7th

All households should have received their sample ballot and reminder to vote in the mail!

If you have not received please be certain to check your ballot thru St. Charles County Election Authority Ballot Look Up

Prior posts have shared information on this election cycle and the various items on the ballot. That information is still available by scrolling down through more recent posts to find those posts with the same picture as above.

As we at Indivisible We Will Persist are very concerned about the future of our school districts I did want to share a graph that was shared with me earlier today.

A homeowner in St. Charles County, on average, will save $122/year if Prop RT passes. School districts will lose $4M in year 1 and $20M by year 5. Please consider voting no on Prop RT. This chart is specific to Francis Howell School District however I’m certain all St. Charles County School Districts would have similar impact.

Thank You!

On March 28, NoKings3 was well attended. 4,300 stickers were handed out in St Peters as a way to count how many courageous people came together for a peaceful, nonviolent First Amendment day of action against the wanna-be King and his regime who are dismantling, with cruelty and disregard for the rule of law, our democratic republic, covering up for pedophiles, choosing war, destruction, grift, voter suppression, and so much more offense against humanity.

A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action with no civil disobedience — that we did. All participants abided by the request to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values, and to act lawfully.

Organizers are happy to report that there were lots of continuous honks and waves, cheers and chants, and a multitude of creative signs.

Thanks and appreciation go to protesters who responded to Bank of America’s request to not loiter in their parking lot, and moved along to friendlier ground, and to smokers who graciously moved far away from others to abate secondhand smoke exposure.

Thanks to Gina and Marilyn and Alex and the rest of the Democracy Squad for your caring hospitality, outreach, and safety and medical oversight, to Zane for organizing the candidates’ platform and to the candidates and their reps who came, to the signature gatherers and advocates for supporting active participation in our democracy, to Diane and her team for counting attendance with stickers (4,300), and to everyone who answered the call from Indivisible We Will Persist to be Peacekeepers and medic support and backup support, and to the Indivisible We Will Persist team, Linda, Judy, Julie, Cathie, Don, Mike and Steve, for being awesome team members as we brought together our skills to organize this NoKings event. Appreciation and gratitude, to everyone, for coming with courage and joy to air our grievances and state our demands.

Please join us at Mid Rivers Mall Dr. and Suemandy Dr. every Saturday from Noon to 1:30. In mobilize we call it the Hands Off protest in St. Peters. Particularly as we approach our severe weather season, we appreciate sign ups at mobilize.us

Indivisible We Will Persist invites you to our monthly member meeting at 6:30 pm, on April 21st, in Room N, at the Spencer library, 427 Spencer Road, St. Peters. An email invite is coming to your inbox soon.

And finally, please do keep an eye on this space for more information about the upcoming national May Day event. #NoKings

Miles Taylor is a former Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Chief of Staff who has become a prominent advocate for government transparency and local civic action. He is a co-founder of Defiance.org, an organization focused on protecting democratic institutions and countering what they describe as “presidential abuses of power” and federal overreach.

One of Taylor’s recent core missions through Defiance.org involves tracking and opposing the creation of “secret” or unaccountable federal detention facilities. He argues that by staying quiet, local communities can inadvertently allow the federal government to establish infrastructure that bypasses traditional oversight.

Local communities are the first line of defense. By participating in municipal government, residents can ensure their neighborhoods remain under local democratic control rather than being repurposed for federal detention without consent.

Understanding the Tax Propositions on the April Ballot

1. Proposition RT

• How it works: Locks your property tax bill at its current level (the “Initial Credit Year”). If your home value goes up later, you get a tax credit to cover the difference.
• The Goal: Prevents homeowners from being “priced out” of their homes due to rising assessments.
• The Risk: 97% of property taxes go to schools*, libraries, and emergency services. Freezing the tax base makes it harder for these entities to keep up with inflation and growth.

---

2. Proposition EMS & Proposition FIRE

Measure	Who is asking?	The Swap
Proposition EMS	St. Charles County Ambulance District	Adds 1% Sales Tax (County-wide) to reduce property taxes by 50% of the revenue collected.
Proposition FIRE	Wentzville/O’Fallon/St. Peters/Lake St. Louis Fire Protection Districts	Adds 1% Sales Tax (Local) to reduce property taxes by 50% of the revenue collected.

• Exemptions: These sales taxes DO NOT apply to groceries, gas, prescriptions, or utilities.
• The Strategy: Capture money from visitors and shoppers to lower the burden on local homeowners.

*Please note when considering taxes that impact our local school districts we all need to be aware that the State of MO is ranked 50th among all the states in state-sourced funding for schools. Thus local property taxes are the primary source for school funding.

First election of 2026 will be held on April 7, 2026!

BEWARE – Democracy dies in the darkness: Missouri AG calls for ICE to stop United States citizens from collecting signatures to put the illegal gerrymandering map on the ballot.
