Congratulations to the brilliant John Sauer. I had the great privilege of working with him in his role as Missouri’s Solicitor General and he will serve the United States well.

Congratulations to another talented Missourian, Will Scharf, who is going to make a great contribution to the new administration!

Important coverage from the Post-Dispatch. I am glad Auditor Scott Fitzpatrick is on the case and hope that investigations take place swiftly and further actions are taken as appropriate. The misuse of tax dollars in any public school brings ill-repute on all.

A great state with a great neighbor to the north!

Hard to believe it was 16 years ago. I was there and remember it well. Michael Washington outplayed soon to be number one draft pick Blake Griffin.

So the NYT has published an excellent story about the victim in the subway burning. And while the final horrifying end to her life is not predictable, the rest of it, the downfall, sadly, sounds very familiar to me.

A look back at Capitol Insight 2025. Thanks to all of our speakers and attendees for helping us kickstart the new year! Senator Tony Luetkemeyer Rep. Ashley Aune Dirk Deaton Betsy Fogle

Securing Missouri’s future begins with public safety. Today, as my first official act as governor, I signed six executive orders and officially launched our comprehensive Safer Missouri public safety initiative. In the coming weeks, months, and years, my administration will be

It’s an honor to serve with Senator Black on MOSERS Board of Trustees and he will do a fine job chairing the policy committee handling pension issues for the state.

I want to thank Speaker Patterson for entrusting me with the responsibility of leading our budget process. I firmly believe that our goal in crafting a fiscally responsible budget should always be serving as a good steward of taxpayer dollars.

Lastly we honored some friends in the #moleg who have stepped up as we work to ensure the grower voice is heard. Thank you Dirk Deaton and Rep. Ed Lewis. #ItTakesATeam

What happened to the Democrat Party? They need to revisit what their overlords promised about cutting waste, fraud, and abuse. I will play this video today during DOGE Subcommittee hearing.

As long as I Chair the House Budget Committee we will always demand accountability and that our state government be as good as the people it serves. Whenever that standard is not met we will conduct appropriate oversight. #moleg fourstateshomepage.com/news/employmen…

Republican leaders in the Missouri House today voiced their support for the House Budget Committee’s stance against the Office of Public Defenders’ decision to employ an individual convicted in connection with the 2007 murder of 9-year-old Rowan Ford. #moleg

We fully support Representative Dirk Deaton and the members of the House Budget Committee in their efforts to ensure that taxpayer dollars are used responsibly and in a way that reflects the values and expectations of Missourians.

Today, the House passed HB 810, sponsored by Rep. Ben Baker, in honor of Rep. Baker's daughter and son-in-law, Natalie and Davy Lloyd, who were murdered in 2024 by Haitian gangs while serving as full time missionaries in Haiti. Rest in peace Natalie and Davy.

Great evening with patriots across SW MO at the Newton-Jasper County Lincoln Day featuring Scott Fitzpatrick and Eric Burlison!

The #MoLeg passed two bills this year I have a particular strong history with. Both are bills I filed back in 2015. Funny how these things take a decade…🧵

“This won’t work to not ever talk to the House and hope that they just take the bill,” Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) I appreciate Josh Hawley leadership on behalf of Missouri. punchbowl.news/archive/62425-…
