Missouri is a state of great natural beauty. Its many state parks, forests, and lakes are enjoyed by Missouri families, hunters, and fishers.

However, Missouri’s environment is under attack by some corporations and individuals who continue to put profit and self-interest above our state’s clean air and water.

In the Missouri Senate, Koster fought for unprecedented protections for Missouri’s waterways and state parks. He also successfully passed landmark legislation causing Missouri’s largest utilities to utilize clean, renewable fuels in the production of our state’s electricity.

Whether in the war against the spread of methamphetamines or in the effort to crack down on crime in our cities, Chris will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Missouri’s law enforcement officers in protecting Missouri citizens.
