| About Dr. Kem
I am a veteran educator and proud North St. Louis County District 68 resident. I stand as an advocate for the values that this community holds dear. Growing up in North St. Louis County alongside my parents, who were deeply rooted in the community, instilled a sense of commitment to the well-being of the people around me.
Throughout my journey as a wife, mom, and grandmother, I firmly believed in the power to bring about positive change for the future of this community. With this conviction, I seek your support as I aspire to represent our community in the Missouri State House.
I understand the challenges our community faces, and as a teacher, I witness the daily impact of economic disparities on our families and children. This fuels my commitment to address these challenges, not just as an individual but as a representative of the residents of District 68.
My vision for our community aligns with these principles-fairness, equality, and the belief that we can overcome obstacles when we stand united. If allowed to serve in the Missouri State House, I will tirelessly work to amplify the voices of the hardworking individuals who form the backbone of District 68.
I cannot achieve this vision alone. I am asking you for your partnership in building a future where every community member can thrive. Your volunteering and financial support will fuel the change engine and drive us towards a brighter, more equitable tomorrow.
