Congratulations are in order – on Tuesday, the people of Ferguson elected three new members to their city council, two of whom are African-Americans. The victor from Ward 1, Wesley Bell, is a community college professor and lawyer, bringing it home with two-thirds of the vote. In Ward 3, Ella Jones, who also sits on the city’s Human Rights Commission, defeated three other candidates with fifty-percent of the vote. She is the first-ever Black woman to sit on the city council. |

This morning, my bill providing for reinforced constitutional protections (SB 567) passed out of the Senate Committee on Judiciary and Civil and Criminal Jurisprudence. This legislation addresses the outrages witnessed in Ferguson, which included the tear-gassing of protestors, reporters and other innocent bystanders by police. |

In the world of politics, heroes can be hard to find. Americans wonder (and rightly so) about the agendas of every official claiming to defend the common good, and whether it's really the financial giants and special interests that have their representative’s ear. While it is often difficult to tell the difference, today I want to give a shout-out to one of my political role models who passes this test any day of the week. Last Monday, Senator Elizabeth Warren reaffirmed her goals of financial reform in the face of Wall Street and big money. |
