Strong slate of pro-business candidates emerges from primary election

Twelve candidates endorsed by the Missouri Chamber PAC won their primary elections Tuesday, advancing a strong slate of pro-business candidates committed to strengthening Missouri’s economy.

“We need lawmakers who understand what it takes to create jobs, attract investment and keep our state competitive,” said Roger Archibald, chairman of the Missouri Chamber PAC. “I’m pleased that Missouri voters chose to support candidates who share those priorities. The Missouri Chamber PAC is proud to back leaders who will fight for free enterprise and economic growth, and we’ll continue working to help elect them in November.”

Through its statewide network of members and local chambers of commerce, the Missouri Chamber PAC mobilized grassroots support for endorsed candidates and helped advance a strong pro-business slate, including:

Missouri Senate

  • Senate District 6: Jake Vogel
  • Senate District 8: Jon Patterson
  • Senate District 10: Mike Deering
  • Senate District 34: Mike Jones

Missouri House

  • House District 2: Phil Fox
  • House District 54: Brandon Phelps
  • House District 56: Steve Baker
  • House District 60: Shane Kampeter
  • House District 64: Deanna Self
  • House District 106: Travis Wilson
  • House District 108: Mike Costlow
  • House District 127: Brenden Kelley

The Missouri Chamber PAC is the political action arm of the Missouri Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The committee goes through a rigorous candidate endorsement selection process, which includes analysis of candidate positions on key economic issues and incumbent candidate vote ratings. The PAC’s recommendations reflect the priorities of Missouri employers.

The Missouri Chamber PAC will continue evaluating races and make additional endorsement announcements ahead of the November general election.
