Elise supports the Black Lives Matter movement, raising the minimum wage, and advancing LGBTQIA rights and protections. She believes that creating a diverse and inclusive community will benefit all St. Louisans.
Elise believes in the importance of building trust between the police force and communities of color, and addressing the root causes of crime: poverty, access to education, and employment.
Regional fragmentation wastes money and creates disparities in public health, safety, education, and employment across the region. Elise believes it is crucial to build coalitions between St. Louis City and St. Louis County.
