KIRKPATRICK ROOM 208 STATE INFORMATION CENTER (573) 751-2379 (573) 751-4936 Dear Fellow Missourians, I am honored to once again provide this roster of Mis- souri’s state and federal officeholders. This guide is a concise collection of the information you’ll need to iden- tify and contact state and federal legislators, along with information on legislative committees and state agencies. My staff and I are committed to making state government more transparent and accessible for all Missourians. This roster will provide you with the information necessary to contact your elected leaders and state agencies directly with questions, concerns and ideas. As part of my continuing effort to increase access to gov- ernment, I created www.TheMissouriChannel.com just after taking office. The site hosts recordings of legisla- tive debate in the Missouri General Assembly and pro- vides an important opportunity for Missourians to listen to our legislature debate key issues. Whether you want to conduct research on a particular bill or simply learn more about how your government operates, I encourage you to visit the site. There are now more ways than ever to keep tabs on your government. No matter if you prefer online tools like The Missouri Channel or handy print resources like this ros- ter, it’s important to keep your leaders accountable and make your voices heard. Sincerely, Jason Kander Secretary of State Table of Contents Page Executive and Legislative Officers . 2 State Executive Officers .................................. 3 Missouri Senatorial Districts Map ........................... 4 State Senators by District................................. 6 State Senators ......................................... 7 Standing Senate Committees............................. 13 Senate Staff Offices . 14 Missouri House Districts Map............................. 14 State Representatives by District .......................... 18 State Representatives .................................. 21 Standing House Committees ............................. 48 Special House Committees .............................. 52 House of Representatives Staff Offices . 52 Joint Legislative Committee Offices ........................ 52 Telephone Index — Departmental Offices ................... 53 U.S. Congressional Districts Map.......................... 54 U.S. Senators ......................................... 56 U.S. Senators and Representatives by District ............... 56 U.S. Representatives . 57 98th General Assembly Schedule First Regular Session Bill filing opens .

    LINC Commission Meeting May 18, 2015 del ¡Día The Independence community comes together to celebrate its heritage with culture, dance and niño! foods from around the world at the rst annual Día del Niño on May 2, 2015. LINC sponsored the Day of the Child event along with the City of Independence and the Independence Ethnic Council. Local Investment Commission (LINC) Vision Our Shared Vision A caring community that builds on its strengths to provide meaningful opportunities for children, families and individuals to achieve self-sufficiency, attain their highest potential, and contribute to the public good. Our Mission To provide leadership and influence to engage the Kansas City Community in creating the best service delivery system to support and strengthen children, families and individuals, holding that system accountable, and changing public attitudes towards the system. Our Guiding Principles 1. COMPREHENSIVENESS: Provide ready access to a full array of effective services. 2. PREVENTION: Emphasize “front-end” services that enhance development and prevent problems, rather than “back-end” crisis intervention. 3. OUTCOMES: Measure system performance by improved outcomes for children and families, not simply by the number and kind of services delivered. 4. INTENSITY: Offering services to the needed degree and in the appropriate time. 5. PARTICIPANT INVOLVEMENT: Use the needs, concerns, and opinions of individuals who use the service delivery system to drive improvements in the operation of the system. 6. NEIGHBORHOODS: Decentralize services to the places where people live, wherever appropriate, and utilize services to strengthen neighborhood capacity. 7. FLEXIBILITY AND RESPONSIVENESS: Create a delivery system, including programs and reimbursement mechanisms, that are sufficiently flexible and adaptable to respond to the full spectrum of child, family and individual needs.

  • Tab 7 Written Comments from the Public
    Tab 7 Written Comments from the Public Written Comments Received for Modifications Made to the Low Income Housing Tax Credit FY2018 Qualified Allocation Plan December 4, 2017 Aumann, Shirah Miriam “Mimi” Beacon Village Resident Springfield, MO 65802 I am a resident of Beacon Village in Springfield, MO, low income level residence. My rent is $475/Mo, and I really struggle to make that rent payment but have never been late. I am 78 years old and live alone with no family checking on me. If I did not have this apartment, I would definitely be either out on the street or living in sub-standard conditions which exist all over Springfield, MO. Before I got on the waiting list for this apartment while it was being built, I was living in a 20-year old trailer and driving a 20-year old car. By a miracle, I was able to sell that trailer and got enough money to pay for a used car so I would not have to have a car note monthly. There was a little left that I have been living on in the 4 years I have lived in Beacon Village. I am VERY thrifty- I do not smoke or drink, have a lot of medications or eat out a lot. I spend any money very carefully and do not abuse "the system" by trying to get all I can out of it. Until now, I have made it barely. Recently I had to cash in a couple of CO's I had been saving for years to leave to two nieces who have been kind to me but live at a great distance in other states.

  • Missouri Legislative Alert
    MISSOURI LEGISLATIVE ALERT Legislation: H.B. 28 and General Law Status: Passed the House and hearings held in the Senate Hearing/Vote: Hearings have been held, awaiting scheduling for vote in the Senate. Points of Contact: Your local State Senator can be found by visiting: http://www.senate.mo.gov/LegisLookup/default.aspx/leg_lookup.aspx Analysis H.B. 28 designates the month of November as "Diabetes Awareness Month" and encourages Missourians to participate in activities that raise awareness for diabetes. Missouri has a scope of practice licensure law, which restricts who can practice nutrition care. Recommendations We should use H.B. 28 to educate and raise awareness of this law, and encourage a change to Section 324.206(6) to expand to include assessing and recommending nutritional intake and lifestyle changes. SAMPLE LETTER TO SEND TO YOUR REPRESENTATIVE(S) May 5th, 2017 Dear ____________: I am writing to ask that you support H.B. 28, which designates the month of November as Diabetes Awareness Month, but also to encourage you to introduce a change to the nutrition law to allow for greater competition, and choice in nutrition care. Missouri law strictly limits who can provide nutritional care, including advice, guidance, education, and assessment. Presently, only a licensed dietician or nutritionist may provide nutrition care including assessment, goal setting, counseling or advice. This law has had the unfortunate affect of giving one nutrition philosophy a monopoly over the whole practice of nutrition. No one group should have this monopoly, and no one method, practice, education, or philosophy is right for everyone.

    LINC Commission Meeting April 15, 2019 (above) Students in the LINC program at Lee A. Tolbert Community Academy. Lee A. Tolbert Community Academy celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. Located at 3400 Paseo in midtown Kansas City, Missouri, the K-8 public charter school is primarily housed in the 24-classroom educational wing of the Victorious Life Church. LINC has provided before- and after-school service since the charter’s inception. Local Investment Commission (LINC) Vision Our Shared Vision A caring community that builds on its strengths to provide meaningful opportunities for children, families and individuals to achieve self-sufficiency, attain their highest potential, and contribute to the public good. Our Mission To provide leadership and influence to engage the Kansas City Community in creating the best service delivery system to support and strengthen children, families and individuals, holding that system accountable, and changing public attitudes towards the system. Our Guiding Principles 1. COMPREHENSIVENESS: Provide ready access to a full array of effective services. 2. PREVENTION: Emphasize “front-end” services that enhance development and prevent problems, rather than “back-end” crisis intervention. 3. OUTCOMES: Measure system performance by improved outcomes for children and families, not simply by the number and kind of services delivered. 4. INTENSITY: Offering services to the needed degree and in the appropriate time. 5. PARTICIPANT INVOLVEMENT: Use the needs, concerns, and opinions of individuals who use the service delivery system to drive improvements in the operation of the system. 6. NEIGHBORHOODS: Decentralize services to the places where people live, wherever appropriate, and utilize services to strengthen neighborhood capacity.
