April 17, 2025

With only four weeks left in session, we still have a lot to accomplish. This week, I spent several hours in committee working on the state’s budget. The budget must be passed by May 9.

Several of my bills continue to move through the process. I am hopeful that I will get some of them across the finish line by May 16, which is the last day of session.

I hope you all have a great Easter, as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus.

I am honored to serve as your senator in the Missouri Senate. If, at any time, you have questions, concerns or ideas regarding state government, please feel free to contact me at 573-751-8793 or Sandy.Crawford@senate.mo.gov.
