Republican Chris Stigall Wins Missouri House District 6 Seat

Republican Chris Stigall won the election for Missouri's U.S. House District 6 in the 2026 general election. Stigall, a former conservative talk radio host and deputy communications director for outgoing Representative Sam Graves, defeated Democratic candidate Josh Smead and Libertarian candidate Andy Maidment.

Stigall ran a campaign closely aligned with the platform of Donald Trump. His primary legislative goals include securing a seat on the House Agriculture Committee to support Missouri's 27,000 farms and advocating for the passage of a new Farm Bill.

Other central pillars of his platform include reducing regulatory burdens on rural healthcare providers and extending Trump-era tax cuts, specifically the elimination of taxes on tips and overtime pay. Stigall also campaigned on supporting the SAVE Act for voter eligibility verification, maintaining firm anti-abortion positions, and supporting the Second Amendment.
