MO continues to benefit from the tremendous leadership of @GovMikeKehoe!
The Missouri FIRST Map has officially passed the Missouri Senate and is now headed to my desk, where we will review the legislation and sign it into law soon. The legislature also passed critically needed IP reform, giving Missouri voters the chance to protect our Constitution at

Thank you, President Trump, for your leadership! I was honored to file and carry HB 1 in this extraordinary session. It was much like the congressional redistricitng plan I preferred, and voted for, in 2022. This map splits fewer counties and will reflect MO values in DC!

Today, I am calling on the General Assembly to take action on congressional redistricting and initiative petition reform to ensure our districts and Constitution truly put Missouri values FIRST.

I congratulate both Attorney General Bailey on his new role and former Speaker of the House Catherine Hanaway on her appointment to the office of Attorney General. I look forward to working with Attorney General Hanaway as she continues her service to the people of Missouri.

Today Governor Mike Kehoe announced his appointment of Catherine L. Hanaway as the next Attorney General for the State of Missouri. Hanaway will be taking over from Attorney General Andrew Bailey as he is becoming the Co-Deputy Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

It’s amazing how dishonest the American press is. You don’t compare the homicide rates of DC (a city) with that of states (DC isn’t a state) but with other cities. Governors don’t run city police departments or DAs offices. The top 10 cities for homicide rates are all blue.
Washington's homicide rate is the 11th highest among large US cities, but eight of the 10 with higher rates are in red states — Mississippi, Alabama, Missouri, Tennessee, Ohio and Louisiana. Trump has not sent National Guard to any of them. @RussContreras

This kind of nonsense is still being taught in higher education in Missouri. As of yesterday.

Great law put in place right after republicans took the majorities in Missouri. Now, with the most recent reform, it applies to the city and county portions, so truly NO sales tax on applicable items.
Go out and take advantage of the Missouri Sales Tax Holiday I passed into law in 2003. Today through Sunday. Many things government does TO you; here’s just a little something Gov’t can do FOR you

I was there that day in War Memorial Stadium. Great memories.

✅ Fighting to freeze property taxes and protect Missourians from being taxed out of their homes. ✅ Leading the charge for a 7-1 conservative congressional map — because Missouri deserves strong representation in Washington.

.@DirkEDeaton is the kind of Conservative that Missourians can count on, not just during campaign season but when it matters most: on the House floor. That’s why we’re proud to recognize him as our latest Conservative Champion. #MOLeg

Thank you for your leadership @GovMikeKehoe to help every Missouri student receive a chance at a world class education.
Every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed in a school that works best for them. House Bill 12 reflects what I’ve said from day one: we can support public education AND expand educational freedom at the same time.

It is an honor to serve on the Southern Legislative Conference Executive Committee during this year’s gathering in Birmingham, AL. I am grateful for the opportunity to represent Missouri and collaborate with legislative leaders from across the South.

I appreciated the invitation from the Trump Administration to come to the White House last week and for the opportunity to meet with four cabinet Secretaries and key staff in the West Wing. I left coming away feeling the states have a genuine partner in this Administration.

25 years ago I was that homeschool kid shut out of opportunities. A previous version of this bill was the very first piece of legislation I ever filed. So happy that @BenBrownTweets and @DirkEDeaton got this across the finish line this year! #moleg
