as a former mayor of kansas c city, missouri, missouri's largest municipality, i know firsthand the importance of having a flexible federal program that can meet unique local challenges. due to its nature, cdbg is often layered with other h.u.d. funds or used for gap financing to aid the final necessary funds that makes transformative communities viable. in 2023, the cdbg program provided funding for housing related activities that serve nearly 62,000 families, including direct home othership assistance, and rehabilitation of homes. assisting more than -- 25,500 individuals to find fool employment tore jobs they were at risk of losing. improvements to homeless facilities that serve more than 52,000 people, and operating cost of homeless and hiv-aids patient programs, senior service, food banks, services for the disabled, youth service, transportation service, and general health or mental health service that is assisted more than 5.4 million americans. h.u.d. requests that guarantees report on leverage funds as well as public-private partnerships to demonstrate local investment. guarantees repo

right now, missouri has one of the strictest abortion bans in the nation.llot. there are several last-minute legal challenges from both sides of the aisle. republicans and an antiabortion leader have filed a lawsuit hoping to have the entire measure thrown out. democrats, in favor of the initiative, have sued because of how was i republican secretary of state worded the measure. democrats running for office are hoping the issue of reproductive rights will give a much needed boost in what has become a solidly red state. joining us now, missouri state representative, crystal quaid, the democratic nominee for governor. great to see you. molly has the first question. >> hi, crystal. great to have you here. talk to me about ballot initiatives. we have seen ballot initiatives over perform the partisan lien in states like ohio. is that possible where you are? also, talk to us about what it looks like on the ground, what you are hearing from voters. >> the initiative petition is something voters have used in missouri many times to pass issues republicans in jeffers

despite all of this, missouri's governor decided not to intervene and the supreme court rejected twoife. as a result, williams was the third inmate executed in missouri and the 15th in the country this year. as president of the national action network i have spent my career advocating for the wrongly convicted and those unjustly killed. i have always been against the death penalty because i know the flaws and biases with in the criminal justice system according to the prison policy initiative, more than half of all people sentenced to death are black or latino. defendants convicted of killing white victims are executed at a rate of nearly five times higher than those convicted of killing black victims. and there is a risk of executing the innocent. since 1973, at least 200 people have been wrongfully convicted and sentenced to death before a later be exonerated. everyone deserves the right to due process. as a country, we have to rise up and take a hard look at ourselves for continuing to allow the barbaric practice of capital punishment to continue. the murder rate in non-death pena

it began with a speech when truman was second term as senator at sedalia, missouri. it's a famous speech he made called the brotherhood of man speech. and it was sort of the first time when he turned the corner on civil rights for it was you know, it was it was nuanced it wasn't very strong, but it called the brotherhood of man. but that was the beginning of his his education, his evolvement of of civil rights. so were a lot of steps that came before the the lincoln memorial speech. but you know, most people don't know about that. lincoln memorial speech, but that was that was just amazing to have happened back then as early as then. and so, you know, a lot of people say, well might have been politics that drove his and it was partly politics obviously but but he he meant it he meant it and he actually when he sat down after he gave that speech, he whispered to walter white, i mean, every word i said. in the effort to climb out roosevelt's shadow, how many people did truman place in the cabinets say over the four months of before the end of the war, before the end of

that led one of the prior governors of missouri to halt his execution back in 2017.that dna was going to belong to the true killer. we were systematically excluding everyone but we found out the dna on the murder weapon belonged to the original trial prosecutor. in a hearing last month, the trial prosecutor admitted he had been handling the bloody kitchen knife without gloves five times before trial contaminating the evidence. >> how do you make sense of all of this? despite the objections of the prosecutor's office we did not want this to go forward, ms. gayle's own family, the tainted dna evidence, how do you explain that this execution still to lease? >> -- still took place? >> you have to look to leadership that is not being responsive to the communities they are supposed to be serving. to be clear, the local prosecutor's office recognized this was not a fair trial. they were the ones who filed the motion asking the court to throw out mr. williams' death sentence. we were locked arm in arm. the family said they never wanted a death sentence in the first place, ye
