ABOUT RASHEEN

Ward 14 Alderman Rasheen Aldridge is a North St. Louis native, community organizer, and public servant who has spent his career fighting for working families and neighborhoods too often overlooked. From helping lead St. Louis’ Fight for $15 movement and serving on the Ferguson Commission to representing Missouri’s 78th District in the State House and now the 14th Ward, Rasheen has built his leadership around listening to residents, showing up, and delivering results.

Rasheen’s vision is a safer, stronger, and more equitable St. Louis where every neighborhood receives the attention and investment it deserves. That means improving roads, sidewalks, parks, and public spaces; supporting local businesses; protecting longtime residents from displacement; and making city government more transparent and accountable. He believes St. Louis succeeds when residents have a real voice in City Hall and every community has the opportunity to grow and thrive.

DELIVERING FOR ST. LOUIS

Invested ward funds in parks, long-neglected streets, and safer sidewalks.

Smart Development

Advanced eminent domain on long-vacant properties while securing tax relief for homeowners.

Tornado Relief

Helped direct $150 million toward housing, stabilization, and tornado recovery.

Backing City Workers

Passed 3% raises for civil service employees who keep St. Louis running smoothly.

HOUSING & ANTI-DISPLACEMENT

Helped advance legislations to protect residents from Downtown, to North City, neighborhoods where people who already live and work there, not just new development. Whiles also working to bring new housing to the community

SMART PUBLIC SAFETY APPROACH

Smarter on crime, not just tough on crime, accountability for anyone using public dollars in the name of safety, and real investment in mental health, jobs, and neighborhood connection so people never end up in a crisis in the first place.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Bring economic development to all neighborhoods in the 14th to bring growth to the ward and city as a whole that provides good jobs, small businesses, and economic growth within reach for every corner of the 14th Ward.

IMPROVING CITY SERVICES

City government should work as hard for residents, not bury in red tape or let problems sit for years without a response. From speed humps to vacant lots to open records,we must show up, fix what’s broken, and make city hall answer to the people it serves.

TRANSIT & MOBILITY JUSTICE

How you move through your city shouldn’t depend on your zip code. We must fight for a faster, cheaper, more honest path for real transit access that actually connects residents to jobs, schools, and neighborhoods in the 14th that touches the rest of the region.
