Policy: Quade is considered the Democratic frontrunner. Her platform focuses largely on a populist message of financial help for working families and support for abortion rights.

Quade also reminds voters of her own working-class background as a first-generation college graduate who worked her way through school. Her platform also includes further restrictions of Chinese ownership of Missouri farmland, much like her Republican rivals.
