Andrew Bailey Re-Elected as Missouri Attorney General

Republican Andrew Bailey has been re-elected as Missouri Attorney General, defeating Democrat Elad Gross with approximately 58% of the vote, a significant victory reflecting strong support for his policies. Bailey, who was appointed in 2022, emphasized his commitment to continuing aggressive legal actions against local officials and has been involved in efforts to limit gender-affirming health care in the state. Alongside Bailey, Republicans secured key victories in other state offices, including Denny Hoskins for Secretary of State and Vivek Malek for Treasurer. Voter turnout included the passage of Amendment 3, which legalized abortion rights, and Amendment 7, imposing new voting requirements. Bailey's focus moving forward includes enhancing relationships with law enforcement and pursuing legislation aimed at improving criminal justice. His victory and the broader Republican success signal a consolidation of power in Missouri's state government.
