Attorney General Eric Schmitt

“Eric Schmitt is a tireless advocate for Missouri’s farmers and one of the leading state attorneys general on agriculture issues,” said Ronnie Russell, a farmer from Richmond and president of the Missouri Soybean Association. “He stands with agriculture on key issues, including pushing back against frivolous lawsuits and federal overreach. Attorney General Schmitt has also been a champion for common sense as he fought to uphold the state law that restricts county health departments from imposing needless and costly regulations.”

Schmitt, Missouri’s 43rd Attorney General, previously served as State Treasurer and a Missouri State Senator. He also served as an alderman in the community of Glendale.
