KIRKPATRICK STATE CAPITOL STATE INFORMATION CENTER (573) 751-2379 (573) 751-4936 Dear Fellow Missourians, As your Secretary of State, it is my pleasure to publish the 2017 General Assembly Roster. The Roster is a valu- able resource to engage in the legislative process. In the following pages, you will find information about Mis- souri’s state and federal elected officials, the roles they serve and how to contact them. I am honored to serve as Missouri’s chief elections of- ficer. Every elected official accepts a responsibility to their constituents, and I believe my responsibility is even greater – to protect the integrity of Missouri’s election process and to ensure every vote counts. This year, the Secretary of State’s office will begin imple- mentation of a voter-passed Constitutional amendment that requires Missourians to present photo identification to vote. For voters without photo identification, we will assist them in obtaining the documentation necessary and look forward to improving the integrity of our election process. I encourage you to participate in your government, con- tact your representatives and make your voice heard. Sincerely, John R.

  • Than 100 State Legislators Join Coalition to Oppose Troubling Tobacco Tax Scheme
    For Immediate Release: Contact: Ronald J. Leone Tuesday, Sept. 20, 2016 573.864.5189 More than 100 state legislators join coalition to oppose troubling tobacco tax scheme. Jefferson City – A large bipartisan coalition of state representatives and senators from across Missouri are encouraging voters to vote “No” on a controversial constitutional amendment that contains several troubling provisions. Today, a total of 19 state senators and 91 state representatives announced their opposition to Amendment 3 and encouraged their constituents to oppose Big Tobacco's scheme. The overwhelming legislative opposition puts the majority of Missouri lawmakers on the same side as many diverse organizations that have come out against Amendment 3 - including groups that historically supported tobacco taxes. “Whether you’re Democrat or Republican, conservative or liberal, there is something in Amendment 3 for everyone and every group not to like,” said Ronald J. Leone, Executive Director of the Missouri Petroleum Marketers and Convenience Store Association (MPCA). Missouri State Senators Opposing Amendment 3 Sen. Dan Brown, R-Rolla Sen.
