Liberal: St. Louis, Missouri

St. Louis was founded in 1764 by French fur traders Gilbert Antoine, Pierre Laclede, and Auguste Chouteau. Fortune 500 companies and major educational institutions make their home in this city along the river, and with it they bring plenty of opportunity, diversity, and culture that residents celebrate.

Amidst the red of the rest of the state, St. Louis residents pushed back with their loyal support of the Democratic vote. Industry and innovation help inspire progressive views, and the residents of St. Louis showed up and represented well on election day.
