ST. LOUIS—Ken, Kerry, and Katherine Shear, the three children of late Representative Sue Shear, today announced their endorsement of attorney Steve Brown’s candidacy for State Representative in the 73rd District. Brown, who served in the Attorney General’s office as Chief Deputy Counsel for Eastern Missouri, has a long history of active support for reproductive freedom, environmental protection, and equal rights for all.

Citing Brown’s tireless advocacy on behalf of the causes for which their mother famously fought, the Shears called Brown a natural heir to Representative Shear’s legacy of service.

“For decades, Steve Brown has fought for the very progressive values my mom held dear,” said Katherine Shear. “He has given his time, his money, and his energy to causes that honor her legacy as the conscience of the Missouri House. That’s why he’s the best person to go to Jefferson and continue her work.”
