Access. Affordability. Accountability. Southwest Missouri deserves all three from its representative in Congress. For three-plus years, Eric Burlison has delivered none of them. Missi Hesketh is running to change that.

On the evening of March 31, 2026 — the same day eight million Americans were still celebrating the largest protest in U.S. history — Donold †rump signed an executive order targeting the way Americans vote. Not the way undocumented people vote. The way you vote. The way your neighbor votes. The way your grandmother votes from her assisted living facility.

Voting under threat is real. Here's how you can help protect it. If you've been watching the news, you know the 2026 midterms are shaping up to be unlike any in recent memory.
