Our new ad is running now. Ann has worked hard for the banks and rich while ignoring her constituents. I know what public service is supposed to be because I’ve done it my entire life as a soldier, veterans advocate, and COVID field hospital leader. I’m going to DC to fight for working people. @WellmanForMO

Ann Wagner is doing a media tour this week....really. Telling them how this was her plan to wait until the end when people are paying attention. She's right. About 100 people in Truesdale in Warren County showed up last night to hear from the candidates. We could be there in person, send a video, and/or send team members to man a table. Ann did none of that. She skipped it. Yes, people are paying attention. After she's burned $5.7 million to try and stay in office...she can't even bother to cut a video for her own constituents. She is a coward.
Thank you to the Mayor of Truesdale for hosting a meet the candidate event tonight! It is a shame Ann Wagner chose to skip another community gathering, it was a great crowd and an important conversation.

In 7 days we can take back this seat and send a man to DC who will keep showing up because I have never forgotten in my life of service who I serve. It isn't the corporations and donors. It's the 759,000+ of Missouri-2. secure.actblue.com/donate/fw…

Unacceptable behavior in the leadership of our military that represents every single American.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's senior adviser on religious issues, Ryan Higgins, has said the “Separation of Church and State does not exist," railed against “the satanic cult of LGBTQ,” criticized gay adoption as “buying babies,” told women that "No ‘career’ will ever give you the fulfillment you’re looking for that can only be found from being a mother,” and compared abortion to the Holocaust, posting it was like “saying Nazi concentration camps were ethnic end-of-life care.” Sources say Higgins has played a role in shaping some of Hegseth's most incendiary remarks on faith and religion, and is now a key player in the newly announced Office of Religious Affairs at the Pentagon. w/ @alligordon_ cnn.com/2026/10/27/politics/…

@AnnLWagner is a Republican POS. I live in MO & never voted for her. This time I'm not voting for her again & am voting for @FPWellman

Ann Wagner thinks we're suckers. 13+ years in Congress. Zero town halls. Four times her personal wealth. If you agree that she needs to be held accountable, vote for Fred Wellman in #MO02. Early voting is happening now. #TeamWellman #StLouis #Election2026

The Hatch Act prohibition against using your position to direct the success or failure of a political party is a 24/7 prohibition, on any device Update to next year’s guidance: Example 3: you may not go on X, say you work at the Pentagon, and tell people what party to vote for
Replying to @AllThingsCivil
The Hatch Act prohibits influencing elections from their government accounts. Sheller has had this X account long before he worked in the Trump Administration and is posting as a private citizen. He doesn't give up his 1st Amendment right to free speech because he works in gov't

Corruption. Open corruption by the President and my opponent Ann Wagner is the Chairwoman of the Subcommittee on Capital Markets...including the SEC. Will she investigate any of this? No. She can't lose Trump. So, she will lose to me in 8 days. Enough is enough. @WellmanForMO
This is why Trump just said at his rally that he doesn’t care about high gas prices because people who own stakes in the oil and gas industry are getting rich.

Absolutely monstrous. People are dying.
From Zelenskyy. Patriot interceptors that could save innocent lives are sitting in European countries for weeks, which they paid for, unable to be transferred to Ukraine because Hegseth refuses to sign off.

No. Truly great men changed the name for a reason. The men who won WWII. Small men want to change it to make themselves sound tough while failing to even lead the war they started. A real Secretary of War would be in the Middle East and Europe every week building a coalition, checking on the troops, and leading. Hegseth is working out, fighting the Boy Scouts, doing two camera videos in his office, hiding from the media, and going to football games. Real warriors lead.
President Donald J. Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth had the conviction to call us the Department of War and say it plainly: America’s military exists to deter war through strength and, if necessary, fight and win. The President has acted. Now Congress must finish the job and enshrine the Department of War name in law. foxnews.com/opinion/trump-re…

“We just need transparency from the board” is quite a “but.” The Governor’s appointed board met in secret on a Saturday and made the STL Chief the third highest paid in the country forcing the city to pay for it AND the fire chief too with no input at all. Calling for local control isn’t “defunding” the police or jihad. It’s actually a conservative value but when they’re desperate they ignore their principles. Matt is a fantastic candidate and will make a terrific rep vs. the man who pushed through this mess.
Left-wing lunatic Matt Vitale stands with Kim Gardner and Cori Bush in their jihad to defund the police. State control was the correct answer. We just need transparency from the Board, not left-wing lunacy like Vita-lame-o.

Nancy Pelosi, who is regularly hammered for her perceived insider trading, has made 213 total trades since 2014. Trump exceeded that number in a single day, which just happened to precede his own tariffs announcement. My latest on the mind boggling self-enrichment:

The smirking liar strikes again. This economy is a disaster for working people. Only the top 1% are getting ahead.
Hassett: This economy is about the best we've ever seen. To characterize the economy as a negative thing right now is really just misrepresenting the facts

I’m not Ann Wagner but she absolutely approves this message.
TRUMP on HIGH GAS PRICES: We’re making money like we’ve never made before. They’ll say: President Trump is bragging about all the money they're making while people are suffering at the pump. I don’t give a damn. We’re making a freaking fortune.
