Victory 2025: Act Now for Missouri School Board Elections!

 

The Missouri Republican Party is excited to assist Missourians win School Board seats in local elections in order to improve the quality of education in our public schools.  The election is April 8th.  As you know, historically these elections have had low voter turnout, and a few hundred votes can make the difference.  For this reason, door knocking is extremely effective in winning seats for the common sense candidates.   Financial contributions, even in small amounts, can be helpful as well.  Below is a list of school districts and candidates that need your help.  If you’re able to assist them in any way, please reach out to the candidates. The election is only two weeks away, and early voting (no excuse absentee voting) begins on Tuesday March 25th. Please share with your grassroots community and spread the word about the need for door knocking and informing voters.   

 

By recruiting volunteers, you are helping children and helping to shape the future of Missouri, because an educated electorate is necessary to preserve our way of life that is rooted in the Republican principles of individual freedoms and limited government.  Also consider that winning midterm elections in 2026 begins with engaging voters in 2025!

*The list below is not exhaustive and consists of candidates that have been identified and or endorsed by local Republican clubs or central committees.
