Seitz announces reelection bid for final term

Rep. Brian Seitz, R-Branson, today announced his bid to retain his seat in the Missouri House of Representatives, representing Missouri's 156th District, for a final time. A Republican, Seitz has served in the House since initially being elected in 2020.

“For the past five years, I have worked hard in the State Capitol to represent the values and desires of the people of my district,” Seitz said. “I am announcing my final run for reelection to finish the mission I started all those years ago. I have proven my dedication to keeping Missourians free, and being a voice for those who don't feel heard, and I hope the voters will recognize that and choose to keep me in office for another term to fight for them.”

Seitz currently serves as Chairman of the Special Committee on Tourism, as well as on the Commerce, Crime and Public Safety, and Veterans and Armed Forces committees. Seitz has played a key role in the passage of major legislation protecting individual freedom and liberty, defending the rights of the unborn, protecting children, supporting first responders, championing small businesses and getting Branson recognized as the "Live Entertainment Capitol of Missouri."

“During my time in the Legislature, I have focused most of my efforts on supporting and passing legislation that would benefit the citizens of the 156th District. In the past two years, I played an instrumental role in securing important funding in the budget for local projects. Additionally, I carried HJR 73, which will fix the disaster of Amendment 3 and protect the unborn. Finally, one of my proudest moments this session was when Gov. Kehoe signed into law "Trey's Law," which I authored with Sen. Brad Hudson, to prohibit the use of Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) in child sexual abuse cases here in Missouri. I have been a strong, unflinching fighter for the citizens I represent, and will continue to provide the same strong representation should the voters choose to elect me for a final term in the House next year.”

Seitz said he is excited and energized for a final term in the House, and will be looking to capitalize on the relationships he has built to get meaningful legislation passed in his last two years.

“Anyone who has spent any time in the Capitol knows that the key piece of being able to accomplish anything is having strong relationships with your fellow legislators,” Seitz said. "I have spent the last five years building those relationships, and that has paid off time after time as I have been able to pass good legislation that benefits our area. In my final term, I expect that to get even better, and I look forward to finishing strong."
