UPDATE – 10:00 p.m. CDT – May 25, 2019: Apologies to Rep. Shamed Dogan. Rep. Dogan voted “Nay” on the final version. The original story incorrectly drew from a vote for a different version of the bill that was not sent to the governor’s desk. The below info reflects votes on the version of the bill that was signed into law by Gov. Mike Parson.

After Missouri lawmakers passed HB126, informally known as the anti-abortion bill, many Missourians were upset. The bill passed 110-44, with five absent votes and one opting not to vote. With the exception of four Republicans voting “Nay,” one voting absent and one Democrat (Rep. Runions) voting “Yea,” the votes were mostly split between party lines.

HB126 has proven to be a very controversial bill, gaining attention at the national level and prompting action at the local level. More specifically, voters were wondering who these people are that voted “Yes” on such an antiquated bill.

Several people on social media noted that their House representative owned businesses that they have spent money at, motivating them to alert friends and family to not support those businesses. It turns out that the overwhelming majority of lawmakers in Missouri (or anywhere for that matter) are business owners or otherwise have a financial stake in a company.

If you can’t send a message to a lawmaker through the political process, get them where it hurts the most: Their wallet. Below is a list of all the Missouri lawmakers who voted “Yes” on HB126 and the businesses they own and/or the places they work. Contact information has been listed for retired lawmakers or those that otherwise have no financial stake in a privately-owned company.

This list will be updated periodically as new information becomes available. Feel free to send updated information, including any corrections, to ty@unassociatedpress.org.

I’m not another lawyer. One thing about being a business operator is that you have that important responsibility of being a good steward of company resources. You have to protect, and make good decisions for the people that work for you. You have to prioritize the needs of the company and all the stakeholders and take them into account. Being an operator of a business is somewhat similar to being an operator of a government because you have that important responsibility of not only looking out for your needs, but the needs of those around you.” Berbiglia closed six stores four years ago.)
