24th District State Representative

By Spencer Willems

There are 163 members of the Missouri House of Representatives, which works in conjunction with the Missouri Senate to pass legislation and craft annual state budgets, subject to the approval of the governor. The General Assembly convenes in early January and continues its session through May. It occasionally reconvenes in September to reconsider either vetoed bills or bills strongly advocated by the governor but not passed in regular session. Representatives earn $31,351 per year and receive daily expense allowances and reimbursements for mileage to and from the Capitol.
