Jamie Barker Landes was a Republican candidate in the November 8, 2011, special election for the Missouri House of Representatives, District 39.

Campaign themes
On her 2011 campaign page, Landes discussed her approach to politics:
- "I truly believe the political problems we face can be solved if we stop focusing so much on partisan ideological differences and instead focus on finding solutions that work. I decided to jump into this race because Kansas Citians deserve a real choice of representation, not just the usual machine politicians."
