Incumbent Craig Hein is facing a challenge in the Missouri House District 136 from Jim Robinette in what has been dubbed as the ‘purple’ district due to the close competition between the Democratic and Republican parties.
Hein, a Republican, has served as a state representative since 2018 and is running for re-election on a platform that focuses on supporting farmers and small businesses, as well as improving education and healthcare in the district.
On the other hand, Jim Robinette, a Democrat, is running his first political campaign and is emphasizing the need for more comprehensive gun laws, increased environmental protections, and economic initiatives to support working families.
The race in District 136 is expected to be closely watched as it represents the divide between the two major parties in the state. The outcome of this election could potentially impact the balance of power in the Missouri House.
Both candidates have been actively campaigning and engaging with voters in the district through virtual events and community outreach efforts. The issues at the forefront of their campaigns have resonated with residents who are looking for solutions to address the challenges facing their community.
As Election Day approaches, the candidates are working hard to earn the trust and support of voters in District 136. The race will ultimately come down to who can best represent the interests and values of the constituents in this competitive ‘purple’ district.
