President
Presidential nominating contests were party-run and held in March.
U.S. Senate
Republican Josh Hawley is unopposed for renomination. Most forecasters see him as likely to win a second term in November.
Lucas Kunce, who leads a nonprofit, is favored to win the Democratic nomination. Kunce ran for the state's other Senate seat in 2022. He finished second to Trudy Busch Valentine in a large primary field that year.
Governor
Republican Mike Parson is ineligible to run due to term-limit laws. The winner of the GOP primary will be favored to succeed him in November.
There are nine candidates on that ballot. Polling indicates a very tight race between Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft and Lt. Gov. Mike Kehoe. Also seeing significant support is state Sen. Bill Eigel.
All three of these candidates have been endorsed by Donald Trump.
For the Democrats, most of the establishment support is behind House Minority Leader Crystal Quade. However, businessman Mike Hamra has raised more money, largely due to his ability to self-fund.
The only recent public poll showed Hamra leading 23% to 21%. That is well within the margin of error, and may not ultimately be all that predictive given nearly half of those polled were still undecided.
Lieutenant Governor
In Missouri, the lieutenant governor is chosen in a separate election from the governor.
Incumbent Republican Mike Kehoe is running for governor. The GOP nominee will likely be one of two state Senators - Lincoln Hough and Holly Thompson Rehder - or attorney David Wasinger.
State Rep. Richard Brown is favored to be the Democratic nominee.
Attorney General
Republican Andrew Bailey took office in January, 2023, after being appointed by Gov. Mike Parson (R). The prior incumbent, Eric Schmitt (R) was elected to the U.S. Senate in November, 2022.
Bailey is seeing a full four-year term. He faces a challenge from former federal prosecutor Will Scharf.
Secretary of State
Incumbent Republican Jay Ashcroft is running for governor.
A large field is looking to succeed him in the GOP primary. There is no clear frontrunner here. Whoever emerges will be favored against the Democratic nominee, likely to be state Rep. Barbara Phifer.
U.S. House
| District | Party | Comments |
| 1 | D |
The pro-Israel groups that helped oust Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D, NY-16) are looking to do the same here with incumbent Cori Bush. Like Bowman, Bush is a member of the far-left 'squad' of House Democrats who has been a vocal critic of Israel's prosecution of the war with Hamas. St. Louis County Prosecutor Wesley Bell has benefited from over $8 million in attack ads against Bush. The support has made this one of the most expensive House primaries in history. Polling has been limited. A late July survey showed Bell with a 48% to 42% lead over Bush. The same pollster had it 43% to 42% for Bell a month earlier. Taken at face value, this indicates a competitive race perhaps moving toward Bell. However, some caution is warranted as the sponsor of the survey is supportive of Bell. |
| 3 | R | Blaine Luetkemeyer is retiring after eight terms. This is a safe GOP district; the incumbent won his final election by a 30% margin in 2022. The nominee is expected to be either Bob Onder or Kurt Schaefer, both former state Senators. Onder has been endorsed by Donald Trump. |
