Not all that long ago, Missouri was considered a bellwether state that could go either way.

Of course they can win. St louis and KC can overpower the wishes of the rest of the state. I just pray that they don't.

Toasty

Sure. I'll vote for a democrat who values liberty & freedom, believes in *all* of the Bill of Rights, and understands our unalienable rights are given by God and not man.

Christopher Watson

I'm sure they can, but the public has gotten a little jaded by the two parties never ending battling, NOT getting anything done for the people, almost living in Policed States!

Bonnie C Sandker

It's time for new leadership in MO. The Republicans have had control for too long and have made a lot of wrong decisions. So glad Parsons term expires.

Marilyn Russell

A Democrat can win but it's going to be an uphill battle in this red state.

I will be voted strictly republican party. This current administration policies do not match my values

Marilyn Russell

You realize that the current administration of Missouri IS Republican? Your comment sounds like you meant to vote yes...Please clarify.

Vernon Taylor

I certainly understand what you meant to say.

Max DeYoung

Are you referring to resident biden, and his clown cartel?

Justin Booya

No, because the democrat policies and values are arch-opposite of the vast majority of Missouri voters.

The raise will only go so far in bringing up wages as many state jobs pay poorly.

If you deceived your way into benefits you should pay them back to the rightful people - the taxpayer.

If someone receives extra benefits because of a mistake by the State, the person should not have to repay. However if the overpayment is the result of fraud by the person, of course they shou have to pay it back.

Patricia Boggs

Not their fault they were put out of s job

Sue Evans

These people had no idea the money was received in error and use the money to survive. Due to the confusion caused by the government in addressing the pandemic, no one seems to know what is or was suppose to happen The state was ultimately responsible to oversee and they failed.
