Melanie volunteered tirelessly for the NO Repeal Campaign, from beginning to end. She was at nearly every campaign phone bank, talking to voters about the importance of voting “no” and keeping the nondiscrimination ordinance in Springfield, Missouri.

A quote from Melanie is still one of our favorites from the campaign. While at a non-campaign event, she said clearly, “I’d rather be phonebanking.”

We are thankful for Melanie, and her countless hours of volunteering this year to ensure that ALL Springfield residents are protected.
