A daughter of August (Gussie) Anheuser Busch Jr., at a young age Trudy dedicated herself to a life of service as a nurse working with society\u2019s most vulnerable children. Today, Trudy is still a nurse at heart and works with nursing organizations and nonprofits that focus on children\u2019s issues. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Trudy got to work vaccinating Missourians and administered hundreds of vaccines. That\u2019s why Trudy has an unshakeable commitment to expanding access to quality, affordable health care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trudy is the mother of six and grandmother of eight, who has withstood tremendous personal tragedy: the death of her sister at a young age; losing her husband to cancer at age 49; and the unexpected loss of her oldest son Matthew in August of 2020 to an opioid overdose. Trudy\u2019s unshakeable faith and her dedication to serving others shaped her dedication to seeing the good in people and finding common ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, Trudy is running to be the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate, because she knows that Missouri families are working hard, but they need leaders in Washington who will fight for them and put them first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Highlights from the announcement video:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cI\u2019ve decided to run for the U.S. Senate \u2014 because we need something different. We need a new politics. One that puts the good of all people first.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cAs your next Senator, I\u2019ll put politics aside, and put you and your family first. And together, we\u2019ll show \u2019em. We can work together.\u201d&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cAcross Missouri, our communities are strong, but our politics are broken. Too often neighbors and families just stop talking to each other, and the politicians in Washington continue to divide us even further.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cWe just need to talk to each other again, exchange ideas with honesty and integrity.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cTwenty months ago my oldest son died of an opioid overdose. Matt\u2019s death brought so much sadness but it also reignited the passion in me to make a positive difference for others, this time on a larger scale.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nurse and Supporter of Children\u2019s Causes Promises to Put Politics Aside and Stand Up for Missourians&nbsp;
