My name is Lorie Cavin. I’m from Rhode Island. My family moved to St. Louis in January 1960. As a child, teen and as an adult I’ve spent over 30 years on the same street I grew up on. Steve, my husband and I raised our 3 daughters in my family home. We have roots.

In 2004, I completed my Associates Degree as a Paralegal, including Civil Mediation Intensive at SLU Law School. I then volunteered as President of Clifton Heights Neighborhood Association.

A series of events with then Alderman Tom Bauer happened. He was not listening to his constituents. I initiated the recall and the neighborhoods organized. And we won.

My volunteering continued with both Obama elections. I also worked with Organizing for Action (OFA) for healthcare in 2010. I was invited to meet President Obama. I completed the OFA Summer 2018 Community Engagement Fellowship. 450 applicants were selected out of 1500.

I’m ready to step up and serve the 24th Ward.
