With nearly $2 million poured into the “no” campaign by the Missouri Realtors Association and progressive groups like Progress MO, who’re rallying seniors and homeowners, the opposition is united in warning of unintended consequences. Meanwhile, conservative and Republican backers—including Americans for Tax Reform, the National Taxpayers Union, and the Missouri GOP—have mobilized with town halls and a $2 million PAC-backed ad blitz, led by top state officials, to push the “yes” vote. This high-stakes race, fueled by massive spending on both sides, hinges on which message resonates most with voters before election day.
