Newcomers face off for Missouri state Senate District 20 seat

After the defeat of incumbent Rep. Curtis Trent in the primary, Missouri Senate District 20 will be represented by a political newcomer in the next legislative session. On Nov. 3, Republican Lori Rook and Democrat Sean Falconer will vie for the seat to represent a section of southwest Missouri. This is also the first time since the adoption of the 2022 Missouri Legislative District Map that a Democrat has run for the seat.
