ABOUT ME

Ryan Burke has a long track record of winning candidate campaigns, ballot measures, and independent expenditure efforts. From 2008 to 2015, Ryan managed and won state legislative races in key swing districts. He was the Missouri State Director for the Working America Coalition Super PAC in 2016. In 2017 and 2018, Ryan managed the campaign to defeat Right to Work. The signature drive for that campaign collected 310,567 signatures to put Right to Work on the ballot in the form of a “Citizens Veto.” In November 2018, voters agreed with the campaign, and over 2/3 of Missourians voted to stop Right to Work from becoming law. Before relaunching his company in late 2019, Ryan worked for the National AFL-CIO, managing statewide and local labor-to-labor programs nationwide. In 2022, Ryan consulted on the successful Illinois Workers’ Rights Amendment, led the Independent Expenditure effort to pick up seats in the Missouri House, protected a crucial hold in the Missouri Senate, and retained the County Executive’s office in Saint Louis. In early 2023, Ryan was the General Consultant to Protect Michigan Families, a group formed to repeal Right to Work in Michigan. Governor Whitmer signed the repeal into law on March 24th, 2023.

Ryan lives in Saint Louis, MO with his wife, two daughters and dog. He enjoys spending time with family, playing soccer, watching basketball and anything outdoors.
