Ernie Trakas Heads to Washington | St. Louis News

Former St. Louis County Councilman Ernie Trakas is making a bold move to Washington, bringing his fiery defense of parental rights and opposition to what he calls “gender ideology” to the national stage. Known for his conservative media appearances and staunch support of traditional family values, Trakas built a reputation during his 2019–2023 tenure representing the sixth district — often aligning with GOP platforms and backing groups like the Family Research Council. His high-profile role in the controversy over a children’s hospital transgender center further cemented his status as a vocal conservative voice on sensitive social issues. Now, with eyes on national influence, Trakas is poised to amplify his message across the country. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
