About Crystal

Growing up in rural Missouri, Crystal Quade often made the trek to help her mom prepare the diner where she worked double and triple shifts waitressing.

They lived on a gravel road, and Crystal became the first in her family to graduate from high school. Then she worked her way through Missouri State, began her own family, and was elected to serve as Democratic Leader of the Missouri House of Representatives.

Now Crystal is running for Governor to take on extremists in Jefferson City, who will ban abortion, birth control, and even IVF, and who will put the interests of wealthy political insiders above doing what’s best for Missouri’s working families.

Crystal has been leading the fight for our families — restoring our reproductive freedom, standing up to corporate special interests, and stopping China and Russia from buying up our farmland and squeezing Missouri farmers out.

Why I'm Running

“I’m running for Governor for one simple reason, because Missouri’s parents, working extra shifts today, have children who need to beat the odds tomorrow. I’ll fight for families like the one I grew up in,” – Crystal Quade

In November, Crystal will take on Mike Kehoe, who has made it clear that his number one priority this election cycle is defeating the initiative to give Missourians control over their own health care. But that isn’t a surprise, Kehoe fully supported the passage of Missouri’s disastrous abortion ban and even helped defeat the effort to add exceptions for rape and incest.

If you are looking for a new kind of leader, who will stand up for our working and farming families – meet Crystal Quade.
