Submitted Biography: "I am a fierce advocate for women, children, and families. I grew up in a large, blended, military family; the oldest of many siblings. I was a girl scout, my first job was in a bagel store, and when I headed to Iowa to attend Drake University, I started working right away in the before & after-school program at the local public school. My professional experience includes: teaching kids with Autism at school & home; providing home visits to low-income families with Parents as Teachers, Early Head Start, and Montessori school programs; providing prenatal, birth, and postpartum support to families as a labor and postpartum doula and an Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant. Most recently, I was Program Director for a multi-state Maternal & Child Health program that served pregnant and newborn families. I never planned to run for office, but after a lifetime in the field, and accomplishing a Master's Degree in Public Health, I saw that policy was the most effective way to tackle the barriers families face when trying to thrive. I began lobbying my representatives, supporting local campaigns, and then decided to run for office myself - so I could draw attention to the issues important to families and children. I am a wife to a data-scientist, mother of two compassionate girls, and we are working on becoming a farm. We foster cats for the local shelter, support our local public school, and I am a member of our county emergency services board."

Randi McCallian (D)
In a ranking of congressional districts, we are nearly always last. For jobs opportunities and income, infrastructure and housing, education, healthcare, childcare, teen pregnancy ... we've been left behind and I believe you, your children, your parents, deserve better.
Our current congressman has been in this seat for 11 years now. He lies quite often about how he voted on legislation, and he votes against policy that would help his district more than others... such as when he voted NO to capping Insulin costs at $35 a month (our area of the state has the highest rates of diabetes and the lowest incomes... who is Smith working for?)
Nearly every Republican, Independent, and Democrat I talk to agrees that we want corporate greed, financial corruption, and bought-out politicians out of our system of government.
LET'S GET IT DONE!
Don't let Big Money control the narrative here, nearly all voters across all political spectrums agree that money is corrupting our political system.
I advocate for campaign finance reform, fair taxes that keep money in the pockets of working Americans, and ending the Congressman-to-millionaire pipeline.
There. Are. Solutions.
Our healthcare crisis in the 8th congressional district shouldn't even exist. We need leaders who know how to get work done, and have a desire to actually serve-the-people and make a whole region (district) better. I have that experience and desire. I enjoy working with families and children, but I've stepped aside from that work because I care so strongly about actually getting things done, and policy passed, that will remove the barriers we face and allow us to thrive. Policy that creates more down-stream healthcare jobs is one of the ways that we provide more healthcare to more people, lower the cost, and create more jobs.
Let's get it done!

General election race ratings
- See also: Race rating definitions and methods
Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:
- 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.[4]
- 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.[5][6][7]

Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Missouri in 2024. Information below was calculated on June 4, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
Forty-three candidates ran for Missouri’s eight U.S. House districts, including 16 Democrats and 27 Republicans. That's an average of 5.38 candidates per district. That’s lower than the 7.13 candidates per district in 2022 but more than the 5.00 in 2020.
The 3rd Congressional District was the only open district. That’s one less than in 2022 when two seats were open. There were no open seats in 2020, 2018, 2016, and 2014.
Incumbent Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-03) did not run for re-election because he retired from public office.
Two congressional districts—the 1st and the 3rd—were tied for the most candidates running in a district in 2024. Four Democrats and five Republicans ran in the 1st Congressional District, and two Democrats and seven Republicans ran in the 3rd Congressional District.
Twelve primaries—six Democratic and six Republican—were contested in 2024. Between 2022 and 2014, there was an average of 11.6 contested primaries per year.
Five incumbents—one Democrat and four Republicans—were in contested primaries tin 2024, tying with 2018 and 2014 for the fewest this decade.
Candidates filed to run in the Republican and Democratic primaries in all eight districts, meaning no seats were guaranteed to either party.
Partisan Voter Index
Heading into the 2024 elections, based on results from the 2020 and 2016 presidential elections, the Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district was R+28. This meant that in those two presidential elections, this district's results were 28 percentage points more Republican than the national average. This made Missouri's 8th the 6th most Republican district nationally.[8]
2020 presidential election results
