Date of birth

The only source containing her date of birth is ballotpedia, which looks suspiciously like it could have obtained it from Wikipedia in the first place as it is in Wikipedia format and has no source for the dob - though it does say it is "written and curated by our professional staff of editors, writers, and researchers". A better source would be good. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 15:54, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

It wasn't obtained from Wikipedia, since I remember looking at the Ballotpedia link when I first created this article, but I agree that we need a better source. A cursory google search comes up empty handed ThoseArentMuskets (talk) 16:34, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

=== Facebook Live controversy ===

In a public briefing broadcast live on Facebook on June 26, 2020, Krewson read aloud the names and addresses of multiple constituents, including a minor, who had signed a petition in favour of budgetary changes which involved redirecting all the money spent on the police department to social services, affordable housing and Cure Violence. She apologized later that day and removed the post after protestors showed up at her house.

Such 'doxing' is particularly controversial in the St. Louis area, as locals connected to Ferguson protests have been found dead in suspicious circumstances. Krewson apologized later that day and removed the post after protestors showed up at her house.

 Not done. This is making a connection not in the sources and violates WP:SYNTH. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 03:15, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
