Key amendments include one to extend park and conservation sales taxes, another to change how county assessors are elected, a third that would require initiative petitions to win majority support in each congressional district, and a major fifth amendment proposing to eliminate the state income tax by increasing sales and use taxes. The State Auditor race pits Republicans Scott Fitzpatrick and Gerald Wistrand Jr. against Democrats Quentin Wilson and Gregory Upchurch, plus Libertarian Dustin Coffell. Voters in Audrain, Boone, Callaway, and Camden counties also choose judges, commissioners, and reps, while local propositions tackle ambulance districts, school funding, and use taxes. From school safety upgrades to emergency services, every vote directly impacts how tax dollars are spent — this election is about local control and the future of Missouri’s infrastructure, education, and public services.
