Senator Karla Eslinger

The Missouri Senate just passed HB 2002 which funds elementary and secondary education. Our budget makes significant investments in students and teachers by fully funding the foundation formula and raising starting teacher pay to $40,000. #moleg #mosen

Yes, the FRA has been renewed 16 times in the past with bipartisan support from the Missouri legislature. Renewing the FRA is a necessary step to ensure stable funding for the state's Medicaid program and support Missouri's broader healthcare system. #moleg #mosen

If Missouri fails to renew the FRA, the state risks losing out on billions of dollars in federal funding for Medicaid. This could result in significant budget cuts, reduced healthcare services, and increased costs for patients & providers. #moleg #mosen

As the Senate prepares to approve the FRA, it's vital to highlight the program's benefits. This public-private partnership helps Missouri cut healthcare expenses for vulnerable groups such as pregnant women, children, persons with disabilities, and the elderly. #mosen #moleg

To the people of the 33rd Senatorial District thank you for the honor of representing you in the Missouri Senate. While I won’t be running for re-election, I will serve as your Senator until June 1st, 2024. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ bit.ly/3uKthXD

Today, we honor the sacrifice, commitment, and courage of America’s heroes. Thank you for your service!

Yesterday it was my privilege to attend the groundbreaking at @missouristatewp for the Ascend Program. This one-of-a-kind program will provide students with autism the tools and resources they need to succeed at the collegiate level. Thank you @GovParsonMO for your support!

I’m proud to represent @HoustonMOTigers. It is unfortunate that the players, team, and community are being punished for the admirable action of raising funds for a local hospital. @BennieCookMO and I are demanding answers from @MSHSAAOrg regarding this ridiculous decision.

🇺🇸 Remembering 9/11: On this solemn day, we stand together as Americans, united in our commitment to freedom, resilience, and the memory of those we lost. #NeverForget #September11 #UnitedWeStand #moleg

Agriculture is the life-blood of Missouri’s economy. I’m proud to be the sponsor for SB 138 and champion this legislation along with @HannahKellyMO. Missouri is blessed to have a farmer in the Governor’s Mansion with @GovParsonMO. It’s a great day to be a farmer in Missouri!

The @WestPlainsFFA had the incredible opportunity to stand alongside @SenatorEslinger and @GovParsonMO this morning for the historic signing of Senate Bill 138! 🖋️📜 #ZizzerProud

Couldn’t of asked for better weather for the 72nd annual Crane Broiler Festival! Already looking forward to next year’s festival!

Over 400 @wpzizzers staff members reunited yesterday to kick off the new school year. We heard from Superintendent @DrWesDavis, Missouri State Board Member Mary Schrag, @SenatorEslinger, and the retired principal of Columbine Mr. Deaneglis. #ZizzerProud 📷📷📷

Yesterday I was able to tour the final stages of construction for @TexasMemorial’s new surgical center. Ensuring that our rural hospitals can provide immediate life-saving care to our communities is critical. Thank you @GovParsonMO and @lincolnhough for your support of rural MO!

This weekend it was my honor to address the Missouri Forest Products Association and provide them a legislative update. I was proud to carry Senate Bill 138 for them and work with Representative Hannah Kelly to get it across the finish line this year.

A huge thanks to our industry leaders who worked tirelessly as well to help get SB 138 across the finish line: @mfpa1970, @MoCattle, @missourisoybean, @MOFarmBureau, and @MissouriCorn.

Yesterday, @GovParsonMO signed SB 138 into law. This comprehensive agriculture bill will help farmers across Missouri. I was proud to champion this bill and work with @HannahKellyMO to get it passed in the final days of session.

Check out my latest Capitol Report where I discuss championing SB 138 and HB 417, and some final thoughts on the 2023 Legislative Session. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ tinyurl.com/pj2b7h4y

SB 138 is being sent to @GovParsonMO desk for his signature! A comprehensive farm bill that will help our loggers, cattle ranchers, soybean farmers, and everyone in between. Thank you @HannahKellyMO for carrying this in the Missouri House!
