Missouri Republicans Have Historic Election Night

Jefferson City, Mo. — Tuesday, come January 2023, for the first time in state history, Republicans will have supermajorities in the Missouri House and Senate while also occupying all state-wide elected offices.

A supermajority in the Missouri House and Senate requires that two-thirds of the members of either chamber are of the same political party. The election Tuesday night ushered in the victories of enough Republican state representative and senator elects to give the party 111 Republicans in the Missouri House, and 24 in the Senate once all newly elected members are sworn into office in January. With these numbers Republicans will account for more than two-thirds of the House and Senate members, and will have a supermajority in both chambers. Republicans will also, presumably, control all state-wide elected offices. Currently, the office of state auditor is the only state-wide office in Missouri still occupied by a Democrat. With the election of the current state treasurer and Republican candidate, Scott Fitzpatrick as the new auditor and Governor Mike Parson’s, presumably Republican, appointments of attorney general and state treasurer, for the first time in state history Republicans will control all of Missouri’s state-wide offices, while also holding supermajorities in both chambers of the General Assembly.

“It’s a historic night for Missouri,” said Missouri Republican Party Chairman Nick Myers. “We have seen Missouri become more and more red through the last 20 years, but this is a pivotal moment. Never before have Republicans held all state-wide offices. Missourians have made their voices heard. They are rejecting the Democrats’ and President Biden’s policies which have resulted in 40-year high inflation, increasing crime, and massive illegal immigration. Republicans will continue to use their supermajorities to protect our state from President Biden’s costly and damaging policies, and fight for Missouri families.”
