Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Bethany Mann (D)

Our students deserve a quality education and support from pre-k to secondary schooling. Missouri has the resources to expand educational spending but those in power reallocate funding for pet projects while leaving our students, educators, and system to fend for itself. It is time for full and equal funding for our educational system to ensure that every student the best opportunity to succeed.

Investment in our infrastructure is an investment in our future and success. Across the state we see failing bridges, roadways, water and electrical grids. The federal government is investing billions in infrastructure. We must fight for our fair share of that funding and invest in our rural areas not just in cities and close surrounding areas. Securing our supply chain requires more investment in American manufacturing, particularly in areas of green energy, technology, and our agricultural supply chain. Ensuring that every worker has the right to collectively bargain for better wages and working conditions will protect our labor force.

Missourians deserve access to quality, affordable healthcare services to support their physical and mental well-being and to have financial security. Rural hospitals all over Missouri have shuttered or significantly decreased available services. Medicare For All would ensure that everyone has access to quality medical care, including mental health and addiction services.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Bethany Mann (D)

Education, healthcare, infrastructure, and environmental protection.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

Bethany Mann (D)

I am inspired by the Suffragettes, and all those who fought and died to defend our right to vote. I believe that elected leaders should serve and always speak out against injustice in any form. I am inspired by my Grandparents Bud and Mary; a WWII veteran and his machinist wife who raised 5 children after the war. They told me stories about freedom, shared sacrifice, the scourge of Nazi ideology, and the importance of protecting and defending the right to vote, and importance of speaking freely and often against the evils of racism and fascism.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

Bethany Mann (D)

"Dark Waters" starring Mark Ruffalo about a corporate lawyer who goes up against a large corporation with a lengthy history of pollution and corruption.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Bethany Mann (D)

Honesty, intercity, and not funded by big corporate money at the expense of selling out working families.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

Bethany Mann (D)

I am a trained problem-solver, with the ability to listen and learn from people with all sorts experience. I have worked with ethanol operators, Hutterites, PhD. research chemists, and civil servants in many branches of the U.S. government.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Bethany Mann (D)

Listening, solving problems, and acting in the interests of constituents instead of political donors.

What legacy would you like to leave?

Bethany Mann (D)

I would like to leave a legacy of fearless dedication in service to do the right thing, regardless of political, financial, or personal gain. American families deserve leaders who serve our country with dignity, respect, and honor. It's my duty to protect and defend the values of lifting all boats to make sure that everyone has a chance to thrive in a strong economy.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

Bethany Mann (D)

At around 5 or 6 years old, I remember watching George H.W. Bush's inauguration from my parents' small apartment living room in New Mexico.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

Bethany Mann (D)

At 16, I was hired at the Walgreens on Wentzville Parkway as a cosmetics associate. I spent over 11 years with Walgreens, specializing in pharmacy operations, training pharmacy technicians, and teaching them how to pass their certification exams.

If you could be any fictional character, who would you want to be?

Bethany Mann (D)

Captain Marvel or Wonder Woman

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

Bethany Mann (D)

Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley

What is something that has been a struggle in your life?

Bethany Mann (D)

Access to affordable, equitably funded public education. I worked multiple jobs just to afford community college. I received an excellent education at the University of Illinois in Springfield, and I struggled financially over decades to afford the chance to build a better life for me and my family.

Also - math! Math does not come easy to me. I was undiagnosed as dyslexic until my second year in community college, but thanks to the patience of my professors at Lincoln Land Community College and the University of Illinois in Springfield, I graduated with the ability to derive Schrodinger's wave equation and learn quantum mechanics.

Both sitting representatives and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?

Bethany Mann (D)

One resident talked about how they were fired from their retail job for being older and a little slow. They lost their insurance benefits and were unable to afford their medication for depression that cost $1,500/month. Since they could no longer afford their medicine, they stopped taking it, and their mental health suffered significantly.

Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.^[1]
Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.^[2]^[3]^[4]

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Missouri in 2022. Information below was calculated on June 21, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Fifty-nine candidates filed to run for Missouri's eight U.S. House districts, including 22 Democrats and 37 Republicans. That's 7.37 candidates per district, more than the five candidates per district in 2020 and the 4.87 in 2018. This was the first election to take place under new district lines following the 2020 census. Missouri was apportioned eight districts, the same number it was apportioned after the 2010 census.

The 59 candidates who filed to run this year were the most candidates running for Missouri's U.S. House seats since at least 2014, the earliest year for which we have data.

Two districts — the 4th and the 7th — were open. Rep. Vicky Hartzler (R), who represented the 4th district, and Rep. Billy Long (R), who represented the 7th district, ran for the U.S. Senate. The two open seats this year were the first U.S. House seats to open up in the state since at least 2012, the earliest year for which we have data. Eleven candidates — three Democrats and eight Republicans — ran to replace Long, the most candidates who ran for a seat this year..

There were six contested Democratic primaries, the most since at least 2014, and eight contested Republican primaries, the most since 2016, when there were also eight contested Republican primaries. All six incumbents who ran for re-election faced primary challengers, the same number as in 2020 and one more than in 2018. Candidates filed to run in the Republican and Democratic primaries in all eight districts, so no seats were guaranteed to either party this year.

Presidential elections

Partisan Voter Index

See also: The Cook Political Report's Partisan Voter Index

Heading into the 2022 elections, based on results from the 2020 and 2016 presidential elections, the Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district was R+16. This meant that in those two presidential elections, this district's results were 16 percentage points more Republican than the national average. This made Missouri's 3rd the 78th most Republican district nationally.^[7]
