March 5, 2026

Things continue to move through the Missouri Senate. We are nearly halfway through the 2026 regular legislative session, with dozens of items still to be determined. Plus, we also have to pass the budget for Fiscal Year 2027. Session will end on May 15.

We have also welcomed a lot of visitors to our office this year. It is always a pleasure to see people from the 28th Senatorial District make the trip to Jefferson City.

I am honored to serve as your senator in the Missouri Senate. If, at any time, you have questions, concerns or ideas regarding state government, please feel free to contact me at 573-751-8793 or Sandy.Crawford@senate.mo.gov.
