Support Inez Bordeaux for the 3rd Ward

Inez was born in St Louis but lived abroad as the child of an Army Veteran. She moved back to South City St Louis in 1999, where she married and is raising her four kids. Inez has been a public servant for all of her adult life, first in healthcare, working as an LPN for 18 years, having started as a CNA. Then, as Manager of Community Collaborations before being promoted to Deputy Director of Community Collaborations at ArchCity Defenders. There, she focused on getting the community politically educated and civically engaged around the issues directly impacting their lives and working to change the material conditions of people affected by the criminal legal system, homelessness, and other systems of oppression. Inez currently serves as the 3rd Ward Committeewoman for Democratic Central Committee.

Inez has spent the past decade advocating for a new vision of public safety, ensuring that families have access to resources that materially improve their lives, ending mass incarceration, addressing inhumane conditions within jails, and fighting homelessness—not only for the 3rd Ward but for all of St. Louis.

Inez is running for Alderwoman of the 3rd Ward because she has personally experienced many of the same barriers that community members face today, such as homelessness, poverty, and challenges created by the criminal legal system. She approaches these issues through an abolitionist lens, bringing a unique perspective and fresh ideas to address these problems. Her goal is to make the 3rd Ward a place where families are not merely struggling to survive but are truly thriving.
