Over the weekend, the @MissouriGOP unanimously adopted a resolution supporting Amendment 4. Missouri's Constitution should be shaped by Missourians & safeguarded from outside influence. #moleg protectelectionintegrity.com

I spent my portion of today's @kearney_chamber lunch talking about Amendment 5 eliminating the state income tax. In short: 💵 More money in families' pockets 🎓 School funding protected 📈 Increased startups and entrepreneurship 🏗️ Increased economic growth and job opportunities

I believe the only time in history it has been done was in 2018 to consider impeaching then-Gov. Greitens. #moleg
Erik, you are correct about the process and the 3/4 majority requirement, but I've never seen it happen in Jefferson City. Thanks for your interest in the story. #moleg

Per student (ADA) spending in Missouri public schools has increased 51% since 2017, more than 20% over inflation. #moleg
Is there a pro–public school advocacy group anywhere in the country that doesn’t claim their schools are severely underfunded and near the bottom in state rankings? All of these groups follow the exact same script. #moleg #mogov

Today, we remember and honor the sacrifice of those who defended freedom and the American Dream for 250 years.

The highlight of session is always the end, specifically when Ashley and the kids all come down to spend the day together and celebrate. The kids are excited to toss papers at the end of the day - but probably even more excited to help clean up the mess we make. #moleg

Motor fuel is already exempted from sales taxes under RSMo § 144.030.2. Voting for income tax elimination doesn’t repeal that statute. Wasn’t it just a few years ago that #moleg (with the support of virtually every Democrat) voted for a gas (excise) tax hike without a vote of the people anyway? Like you said, we already tax gas. Missourians can at least end the government raid of their paychecks by voting for HJR 173.
Right now you don’t pay sales tax on gas (it’s an excise tax) and the legislature cannot impose a sales tax on gas, but if HJR173 (amendment 5) passes, the legislature could tax gas sales without a vote of the people.

But I don't just support Chris because he's a conservative fighter and a constituent. He's been a friend for almost 20 years and I know the Christian character he holds dear. 3/4 #mo06

Chris isn't the candidate in this race who will tell you what you want to hear and then vote completely different. Chris knows who he is and he's a man of his word who has the experience necessary to represent North Missouri in Washington. 4/4 #mo06

Two years ago... #moleg
Sometimes, during the pressure cooker that is the last week of session, everyone in #moleg needs to just take a moment for some necessary levity. Thank you, @Rep_BennieCook and @PoucheSean for bringing us this moment 🤣

But shame on us if we try to implement those best practices from the "Mississippi Miracle" into Missouri early literacy education. 🙄 #moleg
Insiders say the "Mississippi Miracle" wasn't a fluke. It was a marathon. The transformation of one of the country's worst school systems into one of the best took years of steady, focused work. #MississippiEducation #SchoolReform #EducationSuccess heartlandernews.com/2026/05/…

I have known @ChrisStigall for almost 20 years and I know he's the man to represent North Missouri's conservative values and support the Trump America First agenda. #mo6 #moleg
Thank you, Representative @JoshHurlbert for your endorsement! It’s an honor!
