This open seat also includes Cooper, Howard, Ray, and part of Clay County. Gregory will appear on the Republican primary ballot in August 2024. “As a farmer, I know what it means to get results. We don’t have the option not to. The Missouri Senate needs more folks who get the job done. We need more leaders who will work for our values, like protecting life and defending our Second Amendment rights. I think it’s time to send a farmer to the Senate!” Gregory is a corn and soybean farmer.
