ALEXANDRIA, VA (June 6, 2023) — CPAC Foundation’s analysis reveals a Missouri legislature with a sharp divide between chambers despite a Republican supermajority in both. Less than 30% of Republicans in the Missouri Senate received an award for voting with the conservative position at least 80% of the time compared to 64% in the House, exposing a lackluster Senate impairing a conservative House.

“CPAC’s analysis shows how Missouri’s Senate leadership defeated or watered-down major conservative policies,” said CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp. “Despite supermajority Republican control of both chambers, Democrat’s in Missouri walked away from this session celebrating.”
