My name is Luke Rae and I am a registered independent running as a democrat for the Missouri House of Representatives in District 11. I may have already lost some of you because of the D by my name on the ballot, but I am not a radical leftist. I would appreciate it if you gave me a few minutes of your time.

My goal is to win the election, but even if I don’t win I hope to at least inform people about what is going on. To bring more awareness to this community about what is happening in this country and how it affects people here.
