Jacquie Stenger — Missouri House District 35
Jacquie Stenger, candidate for Missouri House District 35
Jacquie Stenger is the Republican candidate for Missouri House District 35, a Lee’s Summit small business owner and mother running to bring practical, affordability-focused leadership to Jefferson City. Alongside her husband Charlie, Jacquie co-founded GST Specialty, an insurance and healthcare-navigation company they built together in 2021 to help families and small businesses cut through the confusion of the healthcare system and find coverage that actually works for them.
A wife and mother of two who grew up in Raytown, she never thought running for office would be on her horizon, but after years of watching families struggle with rising costs and a government that too often makes life harder instead of easier, she decided it was time to step up. “Running for office was never something I planned to do,” Jacquie says, but she’s stepping into the race for Missouri’s 35th District with the same practical, get-it-done attitude she’s brought to building her business and raising her family.
Affordability is at the center of Jacquie’s campaign. Running a healthcare-navigation company has shown her firsthand how confusing and expensive the system has become for working families, and she’s committed to fighting for lower costs, less waste, and more accountability in Jefferson City so families in Lee’s Summit and across Jackson County can keep more of what they earn.
Stenger’s priorities include:
Lowering healthcare costs and improving access for working families
Cutting wasteful government spending
Restoring support for first responders
Academic excellence in Missouri schools
Protecting family farms and small businesses
Jacquie’s candidacy has earned the endorsement of State Representative Alex Riley, a vote of confidence from a proven conservative leader who knows what it takes to fight for Missouri families in Jefferson City.
