Greetings Friends!

I’m Don Calloway, and I am running to represent the 71st District in the Missouri State House of Representatives. Thank you for visiting my campaign website.

I was born and raised in Missouri’s 71st district, which encompasses 22 independent municipalities in mid St. Louis County. The 71st District is a culturally and economically diverse area that is home to UM St. Louis, the third largest University in the state. More importantly, the 71st is home to wonderful neighborhoods, each with its own distinct character, charm, and proud history.

I’m an attorney by trade, and a lifelong public servant at heart. As State Representative, I will apply my skills as a lawyer and a community organizer to three primary focus areas, which impact the lives of every resident in the district. First, I plan to work ceaselessly to improve the overall quality of public education in the Normandy and Ritenour School Districts, by proposing creative solutions to improve both district administration, and student academic performance. Second, I hope to foster relationships with private industries, encouraging them to invest in our community, thereby moving the 71st into position to seize some of the exciting growth and development opportunities taking place all over the St. Louis metro area. Finally, I plan to assist in the statewide fight for affordable health care opportunities, with an eye toward ultimately creating a responsive trauma and urgent care facility in the 71st District.

Above all else, I will be a constant advocate for the working class residents of our district, and our state. I sincerely believe in the power of a government that listens to its citizenry, and responds to collective needs and concerns. I promise to serve the best interests of our community with the highest standards of dignity and integrity.

Take a look around, come back often for news and updates, and encourage your friends to do the same. Please feel free to reach me anytime regarding how we can work together to strengthen our district, or simply to say hi! I’m looking forward to hearing from you, and I can’t wait to serve you in the Missouri General Assembly!

Yours truly,
