Recognized for her skills in gathering and analyzing relevant data before making a policy recommendation, she was appointed to the House Committee for Redistricting Missouri’s eight congressional districts. Armed with maps, facts and data, she was a guest of Jason Rosenbaum on NPR St. Louis podcast “Politically Speaking”.
