“I’m making a bit of a career change. Tomorrow I will be filing to run for Missouri’s 2nd District Congressional seat against Rep. Ann Wagner.
I really believe that our nation is at a crossroads like none other in our lifetimes. The future of women’s health and reproductive freedom is on the ballot. Democracy itself is on the ballot,” states Hartmann.
