I’m Dan Schaefer, an engineer by training, a progressive by conviction, and a former candidate for the Missouri House of Representatives. I ran a grassroots campaign in a deep-red district, not because it was easy, but because the people of Missouri deserve honest representation, not political theater. I’ve seen firsthand how extremist legislation strips away reproductive rights, undermines public education, attacks unions, and silences voters.

And I’m not done. I’m preparing to run again in 2026 for Missouri House District 97 or State Senate District 22, because the battle for our representative democracy isn’t over. I see where this country is heading, and I know in my heart it will destroy our freedoms unless people are willing to stand up and defend them. I

Important social advances have been made over the past 60 years by recognizing how sexism harms, limits and wastes the skills and talents of women and girls to be their best selves.

But what's the most sexist idea of all? It's the belief that only one sex -- women and girls -- is harmed by sexism.

Important social advances around gender equality remain to be realized by understanding sexism against men and boys.

Rodger Friedman a dedicated American who wants to help fix our broken country.

I don’t speak from a script—what I share comes straight from the heart, shaped by decades of experience in science, diplomacy, and human rights. My interview style is completely freestyle: no notes, no preparation—just authentic conversation. I like to keep things honest, a little humorous, and full of real stories, even if that means going off-topic now and then. Some of the best insights come from the unexpected.

I enjoy connecting through storytelling—whether it's about teaching chemistry to underprivileged students—including homeless youth and prisoners—through music, dance, and visual art, or persuading scientists from enemy nations to collaborate in the name of peace. I’ve also risked my own safety working for human rights, going after midnight through dark alleys in Moscow to meet with dissidents, and advocating for persecuted scientists and students in the Soviet Union and China.
