An Afternoon with Jess Piper
May 31 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
You’re invited to An Afternoon with Jess Piper!
Since Eric Burlison, our current representative in Missouri House District 07, has made it clear that he won’t participate in a legitimate, in-person town hall meeting, we’re bringing you a different candidate to talk about the issues at hand.
Jess Piper is a passionate advocate for rural communities and public education in Missouri. A former high school English teacher with 16 years of experience, Piper transitioned into politics driven by her commitment to ensuring that every Missourian has a voice in the legislative process.
In 2022, she ran as a Democratic candidate for Missouri House District 01, aiming to represent a district that hadn’t elected a Democrat in over three decades.
Beyond her candidacy, Piper serves as the Executive Director of Blue Missouri, an organization dedicated to supporting Democratic nominees for the Missouri state legislature. She also hosts the “Dirt Road Democrat” podcast, where she discusses issues facing rural Missourians and advocates for progressive policies.
Event will be held in the Joplin Public Library Community Room on May 31st as 2pm. All are welcome!
Brought to you by Southwest Missouri Democrats and Indivisible Joplin.
