Jordan Herrera

Democratic Candidate for U.S. Congress — Missouri's 4th District

Courage to Lead. Change to Believe In.

May be an image of one or more people and suit

Jordan Herrera is an Air Force veteran, attorney, former Missouri Assistant Attorney General, and the Democratic candidate to represent Missouri's 4th Congressional District.

Jordan grew up in a working-class Midwestern family and went on to spend nearly 16 years serving our country in the United States Air Force. After his military service, he continued serving others through the law, becoming an attorney and working as an Assistant Attorney General for the State of Missouri.

Those experiences shaped how Jordan sees leadership: show up, listen first, stand up for people when the stakes are high, and then do the work necessary to deliver results.

Jordan is running for Congress because he believes working families deserve a government that works as hard for them as they work for their families. His priorities include addressing the cost of everyday life, making healthcare and housing more affordable, supporting veterans and working families, protecting individual freedoms, and making government more accountable to the people it serves.

For Jordan, service isn't something new that began when he decided to run for office. It has been a defining part of his adult life—from serving in uniform, to standing up for Missourians as an attorney, to now asking the people of Missouri's 4th District for the opportunity to represent them in Congress.

A Fighter, Not a Politician.

Quentin Wilson Democratic Candidate for Missouri State Auditor

Quentin Wilson

Democratic Candidate for Missouri State Auditor

Everybody Counts. And Every Dollar Counts.

Quentin Wilson has spent much of his career working to make government more efficient, effective, transparent, and accountable. Now he's running for Missouri State Auditor to put that experience to work for taxpayers across our state.

Quentin brings extensive experience in Missouri state government. He has served as Director of the Missouri Department of Revenue, Governor's Cabinet Director, Deputy Director of Economic Development, and State Commissioner of Higher Education. Earlier in his career, he also worked as an aide to three members of Congress.

As Director of Revenue, Quentin led reforms that saved taxpayers millions of dollars while improving services. As Cabinet Director, he helped bring that same focus on performance and measurable results to multiple state agencies.

Quentin believes the State Auditor should be more than someone who checks the books after the money has already been spent. The office should provide truly independent oversight, identify waste and mismanagement, demand accountability, and help government deliver better results for the people who pay for it.

He also believes accountability shouldn't depend on which political party is in charge. Missouri taxpayers deserve an independent watchdog willing to ask tough questions, follow the money, and make sure our tax dollars are being used wisely.

That's what Quentin means when he says:

Everybody Counts. And Every Dollar Counts.

People over Power. Always.

Liz Davenport is a wife, mother, small-business owner, and 12-year resident of the Belton area running to represent Missouri House District 62, which includes communities in Cass and Bates counties.

If you've met Liz on the campaign trail, chances are it was at your front door. She and her team have been putting in the miles across this large district—knocking doors, listening to voters, and reminding people, even in some of our smallest communities, that they aren't alone.

Staci Czar - Democratic Candidate for Missouri House District 56

Staci Czar

Democratic Candidate for Missouri House District 56

From Here. For Here.

Three people engaged in friendly conversation.

Staci Czar is a lifelong Belton resident, community advocate, wife, and mother running to represent Missouri House District 56.

For Staci, this race is personal. This is the community where she grew up, raised her family, built her career, and chose to serve. She spent three years on the Belton Park Board and served on the Belton Charter Review Board.

Staci believes the people of District 56 deserve a representative who understands this community because she lives here, too. Her priorities include fully funding our public schools, addressing the safety and congestion problems along I-49, protecting individual rights and freedoms, and making sure the voices of Belton and Raymore are heard in Jefferson City.

If you've seen Staci on the campaign trail, there's a good chance she's been knocking doors. She believes representation begins by showing up, listening to her neighbors, and learning what matters to the people she hopes to represent.

From Here. For Here. isn't just a campaign slogan. It's why Staci is running.

Jon Pennell - Democratic Candidate for Missouri House District 55

Jon Pennell

Democratic Candidate for Missouri House District 55

Listen. Lead. Deliver.

Jon Pennell is an Air Force veteran, husband, father, and longtime public servant running to represent Missouri House District 55.

Jon spent four years in the United States Air Force maintaining A-10 Thunderbolt II aircraft. After leaving the military, he continued serving his country as a federal employee, eventually supervising teams that handled Freedom of Information Act requests—work focused on government transparency and accountability.

That career came to an unexpected end when Jon lost his federal job as part of the DOGE cuts.

But losing the job he had dedicated years to didn't diminish Jon's commitment to public service. It strengthened it. After seeing firsthand how decisions made by government can affect workers and their families, Jon came away more determined than ever to serve.

Today, Jon works as a Customer Service Supervisor with Mid-Continent Public Library. He and his wife, Holly, a public school teacher, are raising their three teenagers in the community they call home.

Jon believes representation starts with listening—to working families, educators, veterans, small-business owners, and neighbors who too often feel like nobody in Jefferson City is listening to them.

That's what Listen. Lead. Deliver. means to Jon: listen to the people you represent, lead with integrity and accountability, and then do the work you were elected to do.

If you've met Jon on the campaign trail, there's a good chance it was at your front door. He's been putting in the miles across District 55, knocking doors in communities large and small, listening to his neighbors and talking about the issues that matter in their everyday lives.

Jon has spent much of his life in public service. Now, more than ever, he wants to put that experience to work for the people of District 55 in Jefferson City.

VOTE AUGUST 4TH

Cass County Democratic Central Committee Recommendations for the August 4 Primary

The August 4 Primary Election is TUESDAY, and there are important decisions to make at every level of the ballot. The Cass County Democratic Central Committee has carefully considered the constitutional amendments and local races and is proud to share our recommendations. PLEASE PULL A DEMOCRATIC BALLOT! 

Statewide Constitutional Amendments

✅ Amendment 1 – YES
Renews the one-tenth of one percent sales/use tax that funds Missouri's state parks, historic sites, and soil and water conservation for another ten years.

➖ Amendment 2 – No Recommendation
The committee chose to remain neutral on this measure regarding the election of county assessors in charter counties.

❌ Amendment 4 – NO
Weakens Missouri's initiative petition process by allowing a small minority of voters to block measures approved by an overwhelming majority.

❌ Amendment 5 – NO
Opens the door to replacing Missouri's income tax with higher sales and use taxes, shifting more of the tax burden onto working families and seniors.

Cass County Democratic Candidate Endorsements

The Cass County Democratic Central Committee is proud to endorse the following Democratic candidates:

  • Jon Pennell – Missouri House District 55
  • Staci Czar – Missouri House District 56
  • Liz Davenport – Missouri House District 62
  • Art Ruiz – Cass County Recorder of Deeds

These candidates have earned our confidence, and we encourage Democrats across Cass County to support them on August 4.


The 4th Congressional District Is Within Reach

The Cass County Democratic Central Committee has chosen not to endorse in the Democratic primary for Missouri's 4th Congressional District. Our focus is on supporting our nominee and uniting behind them once the votes are counted.

What we will say is this:  This primary matters.

With the new congressional district boundaries, Missouri's 4th Congressional District is finally within reach. National polling is showing a 10–12% swing toward Democrats, the latest polling has Trump underwater in Missouri (-4), and the new 4th Congressional District is now within 8–10% of being Democratic.

That doesn't guarantee victory, but it does mean we have a real opportunity.

To seize that opportunity, we need a nominee who is prepared to fight for all of us. Not just our urban communities or our rural communities, but every town, every county, and every family that calls the 4th District home.

On August 5, there will no longer be "my candidate" or "your candidate." There will only be our nominee.

The path won't be easy, but for the first time in a long time, it's a path that actually exists. If we unite behind our nominee, do the work, and stay focused on November, we have an opportunity to put a competitive Democratic campaign on the ballot and give voters a real choice.

Most importantly, make a plan to vote on August 4.

Every race matters. Every amendment matters. Every vote matters.

Let's show Missouri that Cass County Democrats are ready to do the work AND ready to win.
