Katelyn Zach

Katelyn Zach is a dedicated public servant from Springfield running this fall to flip a seat in the Missouri House. Katelyn has worked directly with members of the community experiencing homelessness, connecting them with stable housing and critical resources they need to get back on their feet. Katelyn is deeply committed to helping all Missourians gain access to housing, high-quality public education, health care, and safe working conditions with a livable wage. If elected, she will fight for her community and for working families throughout Missouri.

Katelyn is ready for a highly competitive election, and with the DLCC’s support, she has a strong chance of flipping her district and helping break the Republican supermajority in the Missouri House.

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.
