2024 MO Governor's race: on Crime


Bill Eigel: We need leaders who will DEFEND our police not DEFUND them

We need leaders who will DEFEND our police, not DEFUND them. Each and every day, they risk their lives to protect our families and, each and every day, I'll fight to protect our brave police officers in the Missouri Senate. I'm honored to have earned the endorsement of the Fraternal Order of Police. I'll always have your back!

Mike Kehoe: Don't want to defund the police; we want to protect them

[On police reform]: "The first one is working with communities and our police departments to get our communities safe again," he said. "We don't want to defund the police. We want to protect the police and give them the assets (they need). We want to make sure they have the right tools to make sure they can keep and get these communities back and safe."

Crystal Quade: State government needs to listen to local law enforcement

Quade said one of the biggest attacks on freedom in Missouri is that of the state government telling leaders in communities "what's best for them." Quade said in order to address crime, it was imperative that the state government listen to law enforcement officers, who she said often testify against what Republican lawmakers are trying to pass.
