Missouri Primary Election Results Summary
Good Afternoon! I’m sure everyone is happy that primary election day is over. Below is a summary of Missouri primary election results. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Missouri Senate
Perhaps the most surprising upset of the night, Sen. Bill White (R-Newton Co), was defeated for re-election by political newcomer Jill Carter by a margin of 52-47%. White, who served as Chairman of the Senate Seniors, Families, Military, and Veterans Affairs Committee, was considered a potential candidate for floor leader (in addition to Sens O'Laughlin and Bernskoetter). Carter describes herself as an advocate for healthcare choice and citizen's rights and was heavily supported by Missouri Right to Life and the Concerned Women.
- In a race way too close for comfort, Sen. Justin Brown (R-Phelps Co.), narrowly defeated Rep. Suzie Pollock (R-Camden Co) by 384 votes.
- In Jefferson County, Rep. Mary Elizabeth Coleman defeated Reps. Shane Roden and Dan Shaul, as well as former Rep. Jeff Roorda, with just over 34% of the vote to replace term-limited Sen. Paul Wieland.
- Rep. Curtis Trent (R-Greene Co.), defeated businessman Brian Gelner to replace Sen. Eric Burlison in the Missouri Senate, capturing 58% of the vote.
- Rep. Rusty Black (R-Livingston Co.) defeated Rep. J Eggleston and former Rep. Delus Johnson to replace term-limited Sen. Dan Hegeman.
- Rep. Travis Fitzwater (R-Callaway Co.) defeated Reps Jeff Porter, former Rep. Bryan Spencer, and attorney Mike Carter to replace term-limited Sen. Jeanie Riddle.
- Rep. Nick Schroer defeated fellow Rep. John Wiemann for the St. Charles Co.-based seat currently held by term-limited Sen. Bob Onder.
- Rep. Tracy McCreery ran unopposed for the Democratic nomination and will face dermatologist Republican George Hruza for the senate seat currently held by term-limited Sen. Jill Schupp in St. Louis County.
- St. Louis business owner Ben Brown defeated Rep. Nate Tate and Franklin Co businessman Bob Jones to replace term-limited Sen. Dave Schatz.
- Incumbents Cindy O'Laughlin, Mike Bernskoetter, Lincoln Hough, Tony Luetkemeyer, Karla May, Mike Cierpiot, Brian Williams, and Sandy Crawford won their respective primaries and will likely return to the senate in January.
Missouri House
- Incumbents Wiley Price (D-St. Louis City), Annette Turnbaugh (D-Kansas City), Neil Smith (D-St. Louis Co.), Randy Railsback (R-Caldwell Co), Mike Person (D-St. Louis Co), and John Simmons (R-Franklin Co.) were defeated in their primary elections.
Federal Notes
- State Sen. Eric Burlison (R-Greene Co.), who chose not to run for re-election in order to seek the CD-7 seat vacated by Congressman Billy Long, defeated former State Sen. Jay Wasson and current State Senator Mike Moon. Sen. Moon is not up for re-election to the Missouri Senate until 2024, and will return to the Missouri Senate in January.
- State Sen. Rick Brattin (R-Cass Co.), elected to the Missouri Senate in 2020, was defeated in his attempt to elevate to the US House to take Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler’s seate. He will return to the Missouri Senate in January.
- State Sen. Stephen Roberts (D-St. Louis), elected to the Missouri Senate in 2020, was defeated in his attempt to defeat US Congresswoman Cori Bush. He will return to the Missouri Senate in January.
- Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt won the Republican nomination and Trudy Busch Valentine won the Democrat nomination to replace retiring US Senator Roy Blunt. These two will face off in the November general election along with Independent Candidate John Wood, who recently secured enough signatures to get on the November ballot.
