Expand all | Collapse all

Conservative America First Candidate for Lieutenant Governor
  • Dave will take a hammer to the Jefferson City establishment and the career do-nothing politicians and deliver a conservative agenda and real opportunities for the next generation of Missourians.
  • As Missouri’s next Lieutenant Governor, Dave is committed to disrupting the political establishment, fighting back against the federal government, bringing accountability to state government, and delivering a conservative agenda that gets government out of the way to bring opportunities for the next generation of Missourians to achieve the American Dream.
  • Dave has stood with President Donald Trump from Day One and will be unyielding in his commitment to limiting government, cutting bureaucracy, defending the rights of the unborn, upholding the Second Amendment, and safeguarding Missouri values from the encroachment of big government and the DC liberals. Dave is not running to be a career politician; he is running to uphold a principle that Missouri’s best days are ahead, and they will be realized through bold, tough conservative leadership.
Passionate about 2nd Amendment rights, the Pro-Life movement, and Securing the Border
Newspaper delivery boy in Hannibal, MO, 4 years

Ballotpedia does not edit or correct typographical errors unless the candidate's campaign requests it.

Campaign website

Wasinger’s campaign website stated the following:

As an America First conservative, Dave is ready to challenge the entrenched powers of lobbyists and special interests in Jefferson City, to be the voice for Main Street, and to ensure that Missouri becomes a beacon of liberty and a fortress against the federal overreach that plagues our nation.

Dave has stood with President Donald Trump from Day One and will be unyielding in his commitment to limiting government, cutting bureaucracy, defending the rights of the unborn, upholding the Second Amendment, and safeguarding Missouri values from the encroachment of big government and the DC liberals. Dave is not running to be a career politician; he is running to uphold a principle that Missouri’s best days are ahead, and they will be realized through bold, tough conservative leadership.

Join Dave Wasinger in this critical fight, not just for the Missouri’s future, but for the heart of America. Stand with Dave as he takes on the establishment – not as a politician, but as a patriot determined to secure a legacy of freedom and prosperity for generations to come. [3]
