Jerry Hickey — Missouri House District 12
Jerry Hickey, candidate for Missouri House District 12
Jerry Hickey is running for Missouri House District 12 because Northland families are tired of career politicians who put special interests ahead of their neighbors. A Parkville small business owner, Hickey co-founded Express Employment Professionals with his wife Jill in 2013, and the company has since helped more than 20,000 people find jobs across the Northland and downtown Kansas City.
Married to Jill for 32 years and the father of four, Maggie, Allie Grace, Samantha, and Patrick, Hickey has spent his career building a business that helps people get back to work, not building a political resume. He chairs the North Kansas City Business Council, co-chairs the Northland Education & Business Alliance, and serves on the Platte County Workforce Development Taskforce.
Keeping life affordable for Missouri families is at the heart of Hickey’s campaign. He’s running on responsible economic policy and real tax relief, lowering healthcare costs, and growing good-paying jobs in the Northland, so families can get ahead instead of just getting by.
Hickey’s priorities also include:
Job growth and workforce development
Protecting public education
Economic growth and business attraction
Upholding personal freedoms
Supporting first responders and veterans
