Lincoln Hough Announces Candidacy for Missouri Lieutenant Governor with a Vision for a United Missouri

Thursday, February 21st Springfield, MO – In a pivotal moment for Missouri, State Senator Lincoln Hough announces his candidacy for Lieutenant Governor, embarking on a mission to bring forth a resurgence of principled, people-first leadership to Jefferson City. 

“In these times of change and challenges, Missouri deserves a leader who listens, understands, and acts with an unwavering commitment to the welfare of every citizen,” Hough begins, echoing the empathetic and visionary message that has defined transformative leadership in Missouri. “My candidacy is not born out of a desire for political advancement, but from a deep-seated belief in serving the hardworking people of our state, from our cities to our vibrant rural communities.”

His tenure in the Missouri Senate, highlighted by his role as the chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, showcases his dedication to fiscal responsibility, economic development, and access to essential services for all Missourians.
“I am proud to have led efforts that resulted in the largest tax cut in our state’s history, not as a political statement, but as a necessary step towards ensuring that Missouri remains a place of opportunity, growth, and prosperity for our families and future generations,” Hough asserts, channeling a vision for economic freedom and prosperity that resonates across party lines.
Beyond fiscal stewardship, Hough’s commitment to improving the lives of Missourians extends to advocating for better mental health resources for first responders, championing broadband expansion in rural areas, and supporting vital infrastructure projects such as the expansion of I-70. These initiatives reflect his understanding that true leadership means focusing on the issues that touch the everyday lives of people, rather than following the whims of a vocal minority that live only on social media.
“As your Lieutenant Governor, I will continue to be a voice for all Missourians, advocating for policies that uplift our communities, foster innovation, and ensure that no one is left behind in our journey towards a brighter future,” Hough passionately declares. “Together, we can redefine what it means to lead with integrity, compassion, and a steadfast commitment to the common good.”
In a call to action, Hough invites Missourians to join him in this journey, not just to win an election, but to ignite a movement towards a more united, prosperous, and hopeful Missouri.

“For too long, the voices of the many have been drowned out by the rhetoric of the few. It’s time for us to come together, to rebuild the bonds of community and trust that are the bedrock of our great state. With your support, we can turn the page on division and stride confidently into a future written by us, for us,” Hough concludes, with a nod to the power of collective action and shared dreams that has inspired generations of Americans.

The campaign for Missouri’s next Lieutenant Governor begins today, but the journey towards a renewed vision for Missouri is a path we walk together. Join Lincoln Hough in bringing leadership, unity, and prosperity to every corner of our state.
