On Abortion: Voted for Heartbeat Bill banning abortion in Missouri

Defending Life. Abortion (except in cases of medical emergency) is now illegal in Missouri. Eigel has always been Pro-Life and will continue to defend the most vulnerable Missourians--those that have yet to be born. Eigel voted for the Heartbeat Bill which made Missouri the first state in the United States to ban abortions. Missouri public monies should not be used to support any organization that provides abortion to women, inside Missouri or outside our borders.

On Budget & Economy: Cap spending immediately, reduce each year

Reign In Out of Control Spending in Jefferson City: Missouri's budget has grown from $20 billion in 2010 to $49 billion in 2022. We must restore fiscal conservatism. Eigel supports capping spending immediately at current levels and reducing spending each year to bring down reliance on Washington DC and waste in Jefferson City. This overdue restraint will produce significant revenue surpluses that will be used to fund the elimination of personal property and income taxes in the Show Me State.

On Education: Prohibit biological boys from playing in girls sports

Prohibit Biological Boys from playing in Girls Sports: In defense of our daughters right to compete fairly in sports leagues during primary, secondary, and higher education, Bill Eigel supports prohibiting biological boys from participating in any girls sporting event.

On Education: Ban "hate-based ideology," other "woke" programs in schools

Eliminate Hate-Based Ideologies such as Critical Race Theory, the 1619 Project, and other "woke" programs in public schools: When children are taught to hate their country and each other, the foundation of Missouri and America is at risk. Eigel supports penalties for any school that teaches these damaging ideologies and supports parents' rights to choose different educational paths for their children and their tax dollars where public schools persist in spreading these damaging policies.

On Education: Give parents access to curricula and lesson plan records

Guarantee Parents Transparent Access to Public School Curriculum and Lesson Plans: Parents have a right to know what's being taught in their children's classrooms. Bill Eigel supports legal requirements for school districts to maintain easy to understand and electronically searchable curricula and lesson plan records, available at all times on the homepage of the website hosted by the district.

On Government Reform: No more machines; hand count ballots on election day

Require Ballot Counting by Hand: The 2020 election exposed numerous vulnerabilities in the election process, most notably with voting machines that are possibly vulnerable to unscrupulous special interests. Bill Eigel supports requiring election authorities to hand count ballots on election day and maintain ballots in storage for five years after an election. NO MORE MACHINES controlling our elections.

On Gun Control: 2nd amendment protects us from tyrannical government

[On the 2nd Amendment]: "Shall NOT Be Infringed" is straightforward. The government shall not prevent lawful citizens from owning/obtaining firearms. Bill Eigel voted for The Second Amendment Preservation Act. He supports Castle Doctrine, constitutional carry, the intrinsic right to defend one's life and property, and the idea that the 2nd Amendment was written to articulate our right to protect ourselves from tyrannical government, not just hunting and self-defense.

On Health Care: Prohibit transgender-related treatment for children under 18

Prohibit Transgender-related Medical Procedures for Children Under 18: We are seeing increasing evidence of the devastating effect of transgender-based medical procedures, therapies, treatments, prescriptions, and exposure to children under the age of 18. Eigel supports the prohibition of any treatment or service that tries to inflict transgender therapies or medical procedures on any individual under the age of 18.

On Jobs: Defund all government DEI-based positions and programs

These so called DEI training programs and positions are based on a lie. The lie is that by defining and treating people differently based on their sex, race, or religion, we can somehow expect better outcomes in terms of performance, morale, and government efficiency. Only in the most woke, liberal, leftist and Marxist visions of America would this make any kind of sense. Therefore, as Governor, I would immediately defund all DEI-based positions and programs across Missouri government.

On Principles & Values: Prosecution of Trump is atrocious abuse of power

As the left continues to weaponize the US Justice System against its political rivals, Eigel and the people of Missouri say enough is enough. For the first time in history a former President is under threat of arrest and indictment at the hands of an over-zealous, politcally-motivated New York City District Attorney. Republicans across the country stand against this atrocious abuse of power and the dangerous precedent the Left is willing to set with this threat.

On Principles & Values: I believe that God has a plan for each and every one of us

I am a big believer that God has a plan for each and every one of us. Oftentimes, it is challenging to understand how that Divine Plan is unfolding here on an imperfect Earth. Especially this year, as folks have dealt with significant cultural and economic challenges, understanding the specific paths His plan is taking for each of us is even more difficult to decipher.

On Tax Reform: Repeal the regressive state personal property tax

Repeal Personal Property Tax in Missouri: No one should be punished every December 1st for the "crime" of just owning a car. Bill Eigel supports repealing personal property tax. This terribly regressive tax specifically harms middle and working class households. Under Bill Eigel's plan, personal property tax will be phased out over several years, ensuring that local entity budgets currently tied to this funding can adjust and plan. NO MORE TAXING MISSOURIANS JUST FOR OWNING A CAR.

On Tax Reform: Eliminate the corporate and personal income tax in Missouri

Eliminate Missouri Personal and Corporate Income Tax: Statistically, the states that have the fastest growing populations (and by extension, fastest growing economies) are those that have no personal income tax. It's time Missouri join Texas, Florida, and Tennessee and enact the #1 pro-growth policy in America by eliminating the income tax. Bill Eigel supports eliminating the corporate and personal income tax in Missouri.
