St. Louis Has the Chance to Follow Chicago and Oust a Soft-On-Crime Public Official

Will St. Louis be the next city to see a soft-on-crime public official kicked to the curb?

That’s the question in St. Louis less than a month after our neighbors in Illinois gave Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot the boot.

St. Louisans are increasingly dissatisfied with Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner and her office’s failure to keep violent criminals off the streets. My beautiful hometown — once famous for its rich immigrant communities, the best Italian food on the Hill, Forest Park, universities, museums, quiet suburbs and of course, the Gateway Arch — is now known for its high crime rate.

At FGA, we don’t just talk about changing policy—we make it happen.

By partnering with FGA through a gift, you can create more policy change that returns America to a country where entrepreneurship thrives, personal responsibility is rewarded, and paychecks replace welfare checks.
