22 child advocacy centers across Missouri have served almost 9,000 kids. It was an absolute honor last night to receive the John P. Ferguson Award from @CAC_Springfield at their annual gala.

Working to support these efforts is a top legislative priority for me, which is why I've consistently pushed for funding increases for Victims of Child Abuse programs & sponsored the law that ensures continued funding for local children's advocacy centers across our country.

A big thank you to Linda Saturno, the Executive Director. And it was a pleasure to meet Carmelita Jeter, a 3 time Olympic medalist & @MissouriState track coach."
