From the 2014 Legislative Session

Sen. Lager voted against our recommendation once during the 2014 regular session. He voted in favor of SB 723 which we recommended voting against during regular session.

He is a constant advocate for limited government who has consistently worked against government overreach during his career. This session he championed an innovative spending cap bill (SJR 26) that would accomplish what others talk about - constraining government growth. He pushed for tort reform, he worked to protect rural Missourians and their way of life, and he has been a friend to small business and agriculture. Sen. Lager was not afraid to argue his point on the Senate Floor and regularly contributed to the debate. He is a conservative leader who is not timid in the pursuit of aggressively advancing his policy plan.
