A DRAMATIC, FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE
AmySue Mertens knows that change does not come easy in Springfield. After working in non-profits and advocating for funding for many important issues that need to go before the state legislature year after year, she knows that it is time for common sense, and greater respect for the voters. It is time for a Democratic State Senator who has the courage to work on behalf of the people.
AmySue Mertens has the courage:
to provide long-term, dedicated funding to education
to stand up for our right to a safe, affordable place to live
to address disparities in our judicial system
to monitor the spending of our tax dollars
to challenge the status quo.
