AFP-MO Endorses Speaker Patterson for State Senate

Author: AFP Posted: May 13, 2026

JEFFERSON CITY, MO- Americans for Prosperity Missouri (AFP-MO) is proudly endorsing Missouri State House Speaker Jon Patterson for the State Senate’s 8th District. Speaker Patterson has been a policy champion of a bold, limited government agenda in the House- ensuring better education options for students and parents, advocating for the removal of red tape for small business owners, and reducing the tax burden on hard working Missourians.

AFP-MO State Director Gary Hollis released the following statement:

“Speaker Patterson has been instrumental in advancing an agenda that works for Missouri, an agenda that empowers children and parents, gets government out of the way of everyday business owners, and makes sure that Missourians get to keep more of what they earn. Speaker Patterson is also the only candidate in this race that can win this seat in the general election in a very competitive race against a radical leftist. AFP-MO proudly endorses Speaker Patterson for the 8th Senate District to ensure Missouri remains the best place to live, work, and raise a family.”
