“I’m running for Mayor because I believe in SAINt Louis.”
Our city is at a crossroads.
The failure of our city to function on a very basic level is painfully obvious. Our underlying, fundamental challenges are harder to see and more difficult to fix.
The list of challenges is long, but the evidence is perhaps most obvious in our staggering population loss — a decline faster than almost any city or town in the United States. What’s worse: it’s our young population — those who can choose to leave — who do. In the last ten years, our region has lost 10% of our residents under 18. Meanwhile, the number of citizens over 60 grew by 10%. We have entered what demographers call a demographic winter — a trend that’s incredibly difficult to reverse.
Vision without action is a daydream.
Our city is grappling with serious challenges. To resolve them, we need vision, execution, and a true commitment to the cause. Enough is enough with rhetoric; it’s time to take on the real hard and often grinding task of making our city work. We need aspiration and competence. That is what Cara Spencer will bring to this moment.
