Mike Kehoe: Response to Ukraine: Russia does not share our values

The "Missouri Stands with Ukraine" initiative, a twofold response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine began with the introduction of HB2913, filed by Rep. Plocher, which prohibits state entities and private businesses from contracting with Russia, Russian entities, or any other country currently occupying or attacking a NATO ally.

The second half of the initiative encourages Missouri retailers to consider voluntarily removing Russian-made or Russian branded products from store shelves, and replacing them with USA-made and Missouri-made products.

"This initiative is in response to Vladimir Putin's decision to invade Ukraine," said Kehoe. "The message we want to send is simple: Russia does not share our values and Russian businesses funding Putin's war of aggression are unworthy of Missourians' money. Accordingly, we ask Missourians to replace Russian-made and Russian-branded products with American, and preferably Missouri-made, products."

Jay Ashcroft: Wrote bill forbidding enemies from owning Missouri land

The House passed legislation that my office helped write to prevent China, Iran, Venezuela, Russia, and North Korea from buying or owning Missouri land. But in the final weeks of the session, the Senate added a loophole, with support from Senator Bill Eigel, inexplicably allowing each of these countries to buy as much Missouri land as they want as long as they don't use it for farming. That loophole blew up the bill and ended our chances to protect Missouri land in 2023.
