Missouri Senate

The Missouri Senate is the upper chamber of the state's legislative branch, responsible for reviewing, amending, and passing laws that affect Missouri. Composed of 34 elected senators serving four-year terms, it works alongside the Missouri House of Representatives to create legislation, approve budgets, and oversee government actions. Senators represent specific districts within the state and participate in committees to examine legislation in detail. The Senate also has the authority to confirm certain appointments made by the governor and plays a key role in shaping state policy and governance.
