Bethany Mann

Party: Democratic Party

Incumbent: No

Political Office: None

Submitted Biography:  "I am an environmental chemist and technology specialist. With my background in agriculture, manufacturing, and infrastructure, I am uniquely qualified to go to Congress to solve complex problems and deliver results for Missouri's 3rd District. I grew up in Foristell, MO. I live in St. Peters. I was homeschooled for most of my education. I earned a Bachelor's Degree of Science in Chemistry from the University of Illinois in Springfield. I started my career as an intern at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), testing water, soil, and air samples for environmental contaminants that had been dumped into our nation's land by big corporate polluters. Now, I work in water, agriculture, and energy infrastructure to solve manufacturing or regulatory issues using technology, education, and common sense. I am passionate about science and technology, education, and bringing people together. I serve on the executive board of the Kansas Laboratory Education Association, and I also serve as Vice Chair the the Missouri Democratic LGBTQIA+ caucus. I am a mom of three with two toddlers, so I am an expert negotiator and familiar with navigating through gridlock. I believe that there is more that brings Americans together than tears us apart. I want to go to Congress to serve Missouri's 3rd and bring back resources to help working families and build our economy. I know like rural parts of the district feel left behind, and I want to Missouri to do better."

Key Messages

To read this candidate's full survey responses, click here.

---

Our water should be clean and free from contaminants like lead and forever chemicals. 80% of Missouri kids test positive for lead thanks to old lead lines. Forever chemicals are man-made chemicals that can lead to rare forms of cancer with rates particularly higher on military bases and around airports. Billions of federal dollars are being allocated for water infrastructure improvement projects and environmental remediation creating high-paying union jobs across the country. I will fight for Missouri's fair share of resources to improve and protect our waterways to protect public health and improve the quality of water for high-tech manufacturing and energy production.

---

Students should be completely supported from pre-k to secondary schooling in fully and equitably funded public schools. Missouri trails behind many educational statistics, including teacher pay and paraprofessional support. Many of our schools desperately need updated infrastructure, including technology, so that students with all abilities can learn and grow. I will champion universal pre-k, fully funding public schools, and a jobs program to address teacher shortages.

---

Healthcare options should be expanded and access to healthcare should be protected. I trust American moms to chose what kind of healthcare works best for them and their family's physical, emotional, and economic needs. The government should never have the power to go into a doctor's office and make medical decisions for anyone seeking reproductive healthcare. I support strengthening and expanding Medicare by passing Medicare For All.

Jordan Rowden

Party: Libertarian Party

Incumbent: No

Political Office: None

Submitted Biography:  "I grew up in rural Missouri and know the desire for liberty from the people here. Unfortunately, they have been more and more burdened by the government for decades. I am hoping to be their congressman and vote to unburden them and give them Liberty from the government."

Key Messages

---

The national debt is the greatest threat to America, currently sitting around $35 trillion. I will not vote for any spending bills that aren’t balanced at the very least. I would also provide solutions to handle social programs as they are the biggest driver of the debt. As neither party will deal with this I will vote on my principles and not sell out constituents. We currently have no debt limit under the current congress and administration.

---

A functioning immigration and border. A border that is not completely open but instead that has ports of entries to do background checks and give work visas to those who just want to work and be productive to improve their lives. Breaking laws while on these visas would be grounds for deportation.

---

Getting out of endless and unnecessary foreign intervention. I do not support sending any US taxpayer money overseas for aid or military intervention.

Jordan Rowden (L)

The national debt is the greatest threat to America, currently sitting around $35 trillion. I will not vote for any spending bills that aren’t balanced at the very least. I would also provide solutions to handle social programs as they are the biggest driver of the debt. As neither party will deal with this I will vote on my principles and not sell out constituents.

A functioning immigration and border. A border that is not completely open but instead that has ports of entries to do background checks and give work visas to those who just want to work and be productive to improve their lives. Breaking laws while on these visas would be grounds for deportation.

Getting out of endless and unnecessary foreign intervention. I do not support sending any US taxpayer money overseas for aid or military intervention.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Bethany Mann (D)

As a scientist, I am passionate about ways that we can work together to solve the climate crisis. We see the impact of climate change across the state from electrical grid failures, droughts, invasive pests that cause illness like alpha gal, and crumbling roads. Ultimately, this translates into higher prices at the gas pump and grocery store. To protect and build our economy, we must take climate issues seriously.

Jordan Rowden (L)

Decentralizing to end deficit spending and the government having a hold on every aspect of our lives.

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) and Erin Brockovich.

Jordan Rowden (L)

Ron Paul’s End the Fed and The Revolution

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

Jordan Rowden (L)

We need people in Congress who are everyday people. We get a lot of career politicians or those who are only interested in it for their personal gain. Honesty and Loyalty to constituents are the most important and are lacking currently within our politics.

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

Bethany Mann (D)

Ability to understand and prioritize complex issues. Willingness to listen, form consensus, make a plan, and educate.

Jordan Rowden (L)

Serve their constituents

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

Bethany Mann (D)

I worked at the Wentzville Walgreens in the cosmetics department. I went on to work for the retail chain for 11 years as a senior certified pharmacy technician and district pharmacy training coordinator, supporting 27 stores in Central Illinois.

Jordan Rowden (L)

I worked at my family’s fast food restaurant while in high school and college.

What do you perceive to be the United States’ greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

Bethany Mann (D)

Immigration will continue to be a major challenge until Congress meaningfully addresses the core issues leading to the crisis at the border. Climate change, war, and natural disasters will continue to bring migrants to our borders for safe harbor or the chance for a better life.

Jordan Rowden (L)

Handling the debt. It is the greatest threat we face. Neither republicans or democrats want to do what is necessary to solve this problem.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

Bethany Mann (D)

Indivisible St. Louis, Indivisible We Will Persist

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

Bethany Mann (D)

I believe in government transparency and accountability. I think that dark money should never have been allowed to pollute our elections.

Jordan Rowden (L)

Taxpayers should know what their money is being used for.

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.
• 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.

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

See also: The Cook Political Report's 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+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 75th most Republican district nationally.

2020 presidential election results

The table below shows what the vote in the 2020 presidential election would have been in this district. The presidential election data was compiled by Daily Kos.
