2024 MO Governor's race: on Jobs


Bill Eigel: Defund all government DEI-based positions and programs

These so called DEI training programs and positions are based on a lie. The lie is that by defining and treating people differently based on their sex, race, or religion, we can somehow expect better outcomes in terms of performance, morale, and government efficiency. Only in the most woke, liberal, leftist and Marxist visions of America would this make any kind of sense. Therefore, as Governor, I would immediately defund all DEI-based positions and programs across Missouri government.

Jay Ashcroft: Diversity job posting is left-wing workplace indoctrination

Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft tweeted that a job posting for a "diversity, inclusion and belonging leader" within the Missouri Department of Natural Resources was an example of "left-wing indoctrination in the workplace" and the wrong use of taxpayer dollars. "It's time to end 'woke' in government," Ashcroft wrote.

Jay Ashcroft: Against diversity, equity and inclusion in state government

Ashcroft is among the loudest critics of diversity, equity and inclusion in state government, and he doubled down on that criticism. "Any department head that thinks that we need to judge people by the color of their skin and validate whether people are good or bad based on the color of their skin, where they were born or who their parents are, should not be working in the state of Missouri," he said.

Crystal Quade: Knows impact of minimum wage jobs from personal experience

The fact that many Missourians work 40 to 60 hour work weeks and yet still struggle financially is appalling. Growing up with a mother who waited tables, and through her own experience working minimum wage jobs in college, Crystal understands the troubling financial implications of Missouri's current minimum wage. She stood with Missourians and Raise Up Missouri's push for a minimum wage increase in 2018.
