You’ll also find information about key personnel within executive branch departments, the General Assembly and our Judi- ciary. Other useful information includes municipal classifications and the results of the 2004 general election. Missourians deserve public servants who respond to our common con- cerns and give hope to our common dreams.

As Secretary of State, I am committed to providing outstanding customer service to every Missourian. I hope you will drop by my office in Jeffer- son City or contact me whenever you need information or have sugges- tions about how your state government can serve you better.
