Josh Hawley

The Missouri senator said concerns about cost killed earlier efforts to renew a program for people exposed to radioactive waste. Hawley hopes a new compromise with a lower mandatory spending price tag will finally break through.

While Missouri Republicans continued to dominate statewide and legislative politics, they lost a critical fight over abortion rights.

Since joining the U.S. Senate, Hawley has struck a populist tone, abandoning previous opposition to anti-union “right-to-work” laws and minimum wage hikes. He has defended his decision to object to the certification of the 2020 election.

Hawley and Kunce are running what many consider the most competitive Missouri statewide contest on Tuesday’s ballot. Thursday's debate touched on a wide range of topics, including immigration, gun control, abortion rights and energy.

Republican U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley and Democrat Lucas Kunce have waged a feisty and expensive race. A Hawley win could show that Missouri is firmly locked into backing GOP candidates — and that his role in the 2020 insurrection didn't sink his election prospects.

Democrat Lucas Kunce is challenging Republican incumbent Josh Hawley for U.S. Senate in Missouri. We'll hear from Kunce about his priorities, why he thinks he's the better candidate and why he won't endorse his party's candidate for president.

Kunce raised more than double the amount of Hawley over the last three months. But nearly every public poll of Missouri's U.S. Senate race still shows the Republican incumbent with a double-digit lead.

The first-term Republican's re-election campaign spent more than $132,000 on chartered flights between mid-December and June 2024. Recently, Hawley has been hopping around Missouri for rallies with Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker.

As he runs for re-election this November, Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley’s about-face on right to work is seen by some as a welcome shift toward pro-labor policy and by others as election year pandering.

Lucas Kunce is squaring off against GOP U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley in a race that’s gotten increasingly combative in recent weeks.

The signs released by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers warn of "low-level radioactive materials present" near Coldwater Creek in St. Louis.

The two major party candidates, along with third party contenders for U.S. Senate, met for the first time on stage at the debate sponsored by the Missouri Press Association.
