Proven Leader for Missouri's Future: Rep. Gina Mitten, D-St. Louis

During her eight years in the Missouri House, Rep. Mitten established herself as a passionate defender of affordable, quality health care. Serving on bipartisan committees focused on health policy, she traveled the state to listen to community needs and fought hard against budget cuts that threatened to shut down local hospitals. Her record reflects a deep commitment to protecting patient access and lowering health care costs. 

​Policies that impact your health and your local hospital are decided by the people we elect. To keep moving Missouri health care forward, we need to ensure these health care champions have a seat at the table.
