About Alex Lange

I am a St. Louis County native, a husband, a father of two young children with a third due in November, a union representative for United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local 655, and a lifetime resident of St. Louis County.

I am running to bring a new voice to the St. Louis County Council. From Washington D.C., to Jefferson City, to Clayton, the voices of working people are being ignored by career politicians, insiders, and lobbyists. St. Louis County’s reputation has been tainted by scandal, and we are long overdue for a fresh start.

The COVID-19 pandemic has amplified why I am running. I am a union representative with United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local 655. Our members in our local grocery stores are on the frontlines of this crisis.

They are keeping food on the table for our families and putting them and their families at risk to do so. I am fighting to ensure they get everything they need to do their job and receive the benefits they have earned. I want to bring that type of fight to the St. Louis County Council. I want to fight for our district and ensure we have the best place to raise a family.

The sixth district is a building block of our county. It is important that we support our police officers and firefighters and ensure they have the proper tools to fight crime and keep our communities safe. I am not a career politician, I’m a dad, a husband, and a member of the community that we all love. It is time for a new voice, a new perspective, and a new era of leadership in St. Louis County.

Alex Lange’s Priorities

Economic Recovery and Development

The Coronavirus has devastated our country, region, and our county. It is important that we are laser-focused to support small businesses and aid them in rebuilding. It is also key to support businesses that bring a lot of jobs and economic impact on our county. As county councilman, Alex Lange will protect your hard-earned tax dollars. He believes that any funds should be met with the highest standards and oversight from the St. Louis County Council. COVID-19 put a halt on the growth we were experiencing but it is important that St. Louis County is a place where anyone wants to grow a business and invest in our communities. Alex Lange will also fight against our tax-dollars being used for corporate welfare. We have a great community and if businesses want to invest in our community, they shouldn’t need a handout to do so.

PROTECTING OUR WORKERS

As a union representative for our hard-working grocery store workers at our union grocery stores, Alex Lange knows how COVID-19 has impacted them. These workers are working long hours to keep food on the tables for our families. Alex Lange will work to not only protect these workers but all workers. Alex’s whole career is putting workers first and if he is elected he will make sure that we are putting the needs of our community’s workers first. Alex Lange will work with St. Louis County leaders to make sure that our workers have access to testing and PPE. Alex will work with community leaders to ensure that workers have what they need to do their job. Alex will also work with those that are unemployed to make sure that county government is a resource for them during this difficult time. Government is not always the only answer and working with business groups will be important to jump-start our economy in favor of the workers.

Working with the Sixth District

Alex Lange will work with members of our community to help jumpstart our economy. Alex supports a sixth district task force to bring together community leaders in our district to help spur economic development to protect our communities. Alex will always work to ensure that residents of the sixth district have a strong voice on what happens in St. Louis County. Alex is against a St. Louis City and County merger. If there is any type of consolidation of services, it should work for the sixth district and should be voted on by us.

Making our Neighborhoods Safer

Alex Lange is currently raising two young children right here in the sixth district, with one on the way (due in November 😊). Alex understands what it means to be able to have my kids ride around on bikes, take the school bus, and have a neighborhood cookout while feeling safe. Alex believes that we are only as strong as our community. Alex will work to increase funding in the sixth district to continue to make it a great place to raise a family and grow old. Alex supports our firefighters, police, and EMS workers. Alex will ensure that Proposition P funds are used to support these first responders.

Cleaning up St. Louis County Government

Our county, our home has been plagued by scandal after scandal every year. Alex believes that St. Louis County should be on the front page of the paper doing good things, not bad. As your county councilman, Alex Lange will work to weed out corruption in our government. There will be no pay-to-play as your councilman. We have seen career politicians at every level of government say one thing and do another. Alex Lange will not be that elected-official. Alex Lange will show up for our residents and fight for you, not for me.

I grew up here in St. Louis County and I want it to be the best place to raise my kids. Career politicians are no longer in touch with our district and our needs. I am ready to serve and work with our neighbors to set up the sixth district on a path to prosperity for our families for the future.
