Jacey Buckles, candidate for Missouri House District 136
Jacey Buckles is the Republican candidate for Missouri House District 136, a Springfield small business owner and CFO running to bring bold, practical leadership to Jefferson City. As costs continue to rise for Missouri families, Buckles is focused on solving the affordability problem — from taxes and healthcare costs to utility bills — so hardworking Springfield families can get ahead.
Since 2017, Buckles has grown his business from a single location to three, now employing more than 20 people in the Springfield community. He is a 2017 graduate of Southwest Baptist University, where he earned a B.S. in Economics and Finance and a B.A. in Religion and Philosophy. Buckles is a member and former deacon of High Street Church, and he and his wife are raising two young children, ages 3 and a newborn.
“I believe I am uniquely positioned in this race to bridge the gap between business interests and the values of the Springfield community,” Buckles said. His priorities include:
Lowering the cost of living through tax reform and addressing rising healthcare and utility costs
Strengthening public safety with accountability for offenders while addressing the root causes of addiction and homelessness
Expanding education options for Springfield families
Investing in infrastructure and business-friendly policy to grow the local economy
Practicing wise stewardship of taxpayer resources
