We're back! The Legislative Session is off and running. So how does the League of Women Voters decide what to track, what to prioritize, and how to keep up when thousands of bills are moving through the legislature all at once? To help answer that question, we sat down over the holiday break with Dr. Sherry Buchanan-Chair of the Missouri League of Women Voters Legislative Action Committee, for a deep dive into how legislative tracking actually works.

Missouri Lawmakers introduced over 2,700 bills and resolutions during the 2025 legislative session. Of the 2,700+ bills, only 65 measures were agreed to and sent to Mike Kehoe for approval. They included 16 appropriations (budget) bills, 3 resolutions, and 48 substantive policy bills. The Governor's Legislative Actions Page shows the bills and resolutions on which Mike Kehoe has taken action.
