Governor Mike Kehoe deployed Missouri National Guard soldiers to support ICE enforcement, but they won't be paid during the federal government shutdown. This reckless political theater puts our brave service members' livelihoods at risk while undermining both military readiness and democratic principles.
Republican State Senator Lincoln Hough introduced an alternative budget challenging Governor Mike Kehoe's spending plan after being stripped of his appropriations chairmanship for bucking party leadership. This courageous stand against devastating cuts to education and disability services demonstrates how principled lawmakers can fight for vulnerable citizens even when facing political retaliation.
Governor Mike Kehoe received 10,000 handwritten letters urging a veto of a bill that would impose a statewide ban on intoxicating hemp products, a move critics argue would preemptively destroy an entire industry and ignore the voices of Missouri's small businesses and farmers. This heavy-handed legislative overreach threatens economic liberty and represents a failure of governance, prioritizing restrictive bureaucracy over the livelihoods of citizens and the principles of a free market.
