Lauren Gepford leaving Missouri Democratic Party

Lauren Gepford has resigned as the executive director of the Missouri Democratic Party effective Dec. 13.

“I will hand over the party to the next administration and leadership in a healthy financial, party structure, and operational position so it may get off on a running start for 2021, 2022, and beyond,” Gepford said in an email to the state and executive committee provided to The Missouri Times. “I will make myself available to help with the transition, pending my availability and whether new leadership desires my help with the transition.”

Gepford said her priorities for the next month are documenting infrastructure and procedural trainings, creating recommendations on needs and processes, completing the 10 year strategic plan, shutting down the coordinated campaign, ensuring cash flow returns to non-cycle status, and helping recently laid off staff with networking and next ventures, among a multitude of other things.

“This is my third time working for the State Party. In this post, I have visited 75 counties and have had the pleasure of having visited every county in Missouri throughout my time working in Democratic politics here,” Gepford said. “I will always carry a part of this organization in my heart. I’ve known some state and local committee members for over a decade and consider many of you my friends as well as my colleagues.”
