State Senator Bill Eigel, who is leaving office due to term limits, is exploring his options for his future political career. One possibility is a return to St. Charles County, where he previously served in the Missouri House. Eigel has filed paperwork to raise money for a potential bid for St. Charles County Executive in 2026, as current incumbent Steve Ehlmann has announced he won’t seek another term.
Mike Elam, a member of the St. Charles County Council, is also eyeing the County Executive position and has ties to Governor-elect Mike Kehoe, whom Eigel lost to in the August primary for the GOP nomination for governor. Elam was an emcee at Kehoe’s election night watch party, indicating a potential proxy fight between Eigel and Kehoe in the upcoming election.
Eigel has not yet made a final decision on his political future but is considering all possibilities, including a return to St. Charles County. His filing with the Missouri Ethics Commission allows him to start raising funds for a potential campaign, setting the stage for an interesting race in 2026. Stay tuned for updates on Eigel’s decision and the developing political landscape in St. Charles County.
