ST. LOUIS, MO - Today, U.S. Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO) is celebrating his top legislative wins of 2025, supporting President Trump's America First agenda, and delivering key results for Missouri and the nation. Throughout the year, Senator Schmitt led key initiatives to strengthen Missouri's defense industrial base, secure funding for St. Louis' storm recovery, expand healthcare options for individuals with disabilities, restore Constitutional accountability, prevent censorship, and support President Trump's America First agenda.

"I am immensely proud of the work I was able to achieve this year in the Senate for Missouri and our nation. Working with President Trump, we reversed the tide on Biden's disastrous administration, secured the border, funded mass deportation operations, strengthened our national defense, cut billions in wasteful funding, and expanded opportunities for working families and individuals with disabilities. These wins reflect my relentless commitment to deliver real results for families in Missouri, and I look forward to building on this momentum in 2026," said Senator Schmitt.
