My name is Kimberly-Ann Collins and I am a lifelong resident of the 77th District. I have been living in this district that I call home for 27 years. I was raised in a house on the 4000 Block of Greer Avenue where my activism journey of serving the community started. In 2015 I received my Bachelor of Science in Public Health Sciences with a minor of Chemistry from the University of Missouri Kansas City. While I have been very much dedicated to the public health field, I have also spent my entire life putting others first, fighting to insure equal opportunity to all. I am a huge advocate for fighting on the front-lines for unhoused residents and laws that help to address the needs of unhoused residents so that everyone has access to basic human rights. I have worked with many organizations and community members to help organize "pop-up"shelters in the City of St. Louis. "Pop-up" shelters are community founded and lead. "Pop-up" shelters house unhoused residents and serve as a safe space to eat, sleep, and gain access to other needed resources. I am proud of the work that we were able to accomplish over the past winters. Myself and many others spent countless hours each day with our boots on the ground making sure unhoused residents have food to eat and a warm place to sleep. I am concerned, and I care about the well-beings of others. My energy, passion, and unwavering love to help move this district into a healthier direction is exactly what I seek to bring to this District.

  • Promoting and empowering fundamental strategies to address homelessness
  • Comprehensive crime prevention approach that targets changes in community culture, infrastructure and environment to deter crime.
  • Reducing racial and ethic disparities in the criminal justice system

Public Health and Affordable/access to healthcare, Supportive affordable housing measures and accessible housing for unhoused residents, Youth Developmental programs that support at risk children and education enhancement, felony disfranchisement & marginalized voters, Prison reform,

Shirley Chisholm. As she was the first black woman elected to the U.S. Congress representing New York's 12th congressional District. Not only was she a public servant, but she was an educator. Although Shirley Chisholm faced many barriers as a woman of color, her leadership in the labor movement, fight for equal wages, and equity didn't stop, She kept going. I admire Shirley Chisholm because her style, her way of capturing the hearts and minds of many was courageous. I would love to continue on her style of leadership.

Honesty in every aspect of your job as a legislator and public servant, 100% Accountability, and active genuine relationship with all residents no matter the zip code.

My very first job was at the St. Louis Science Center. I was apart of a program called the YES Program which stands for Youth Exploring Science Program. I worked at the St. Louis Science Center for 5 years.

It would depend on how effective a person's experience in government or politics has been. It can be beneficial but it is certainly not necessary.

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Missouri

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
