Keri Ingle

Rep. Keri Ingle is a mom, social worker, and state representative from Lee’s Summit running to flip a seat in the Missouri Senate in November. After earning her degree in Criminal Justice and later a Master’s in Social Work, Keri went to work protecting children who need it most at the Jackson County Children’s Division. In 2018, she ran for office to lower costs for families by focusing on health care access and affordability for working families. Now she’s running for state Senate to continue working towards lasting positive change in Missouri.

Keri flipped her House seat during the first Trump administration, and this year she’s ready to capitalize on the support of the DLCC to flip a crucial state Senate seat blue.

2026 is a historic opportunity for Democrats to gain ground in Missouri, where Republicans currently hold supermajorities in both the state House and Senate.

The GOP has used its unchecked power in the Missouri legislature to rubber-stamp the MAGA agenda at every turn. In 2025, they blatantly rigged the state’s congressional maps to silence voters, and they have doubled down on attacks on reproductive health care despite Missourians explicitly voting to protect their rights.

With only 3 additional seats needed to break the supermajority in the state House and 2 in the state Senate, Missouri Democrats are fighting for every inch of ground. The DLCC has worked with partners in the state to identify the best opportunities for red-to-blue flips and key Democratic seats to defend in November.

Breaking Republican supermajorities in Missouri means protecting critical aspects of democracy, such as ballot initiatives that allow the people to push back directly against far-right extremism. Now is the time to rally behind Democrats in Missouri, and the DLCC is leading the charge.
