## Resource

https://arellanesformissouri.com/ TikTok- @miguel.for.missour Missouri’s political landscape is shifting, and Miguel is stepping into the arena with a focus on the issues that actually land on people's kitchen tables. In this episode, we sit down with Miguel to talk about the drive behind his run for office and how he plans to bridge the gap between Jefferson City and the everyday struggles of Missourians. From the rising burden of property taxes to the "healthcare deserts" forming in our rural counties, we dig into the systemic challenges facing the state. Miguel breaks down the hidden costs of current education funding models and explains why grassroots activism isn't just a campaign tactic—it’s the only way to break through today’s intense political polarization.
