Republican members of the Missouri House of Representatives gathered in Branson for the seventh straight summer to talk strategy and make plans for the 2024 legislative session.
The Republican House Majority Floor Leader, Rep. Jon Patterson from Lee’s Summit, spoke with the Branson Tri-Lakes News about the party, their goals, and their vision for 2024. Patterson, a general surgeon in Jackson County, was first elected to the House in 2018.
“We’re in Branson to discuss our priorities, but I think we’ll focus on the things we always focus on,” Patterson said. “We want our citizens to be safe, especially in our urban areas. We want good schools for our kids, and I think child care is a huge issue these days. And, of course, infrastructure. We need to maintain our roads to increase transportation and commerce in the state of Missouri.”
