On November 8, 2022, the citizens of Missouri elected Eric Schmitt as the state’s next United States Senator. Since 2019, Eric has served as Missouri’s 43rd Attorney General.
As Missouri Attorney General, Eric launched multiple major initiatives to make Missouri safe. In his first month in office, Eric launched his Safer Streets Initiative, featuring unprecedented cooperation between the U.S Attorney’s Office and the Attorney General’s Office, taking the state’s most violent offenders off the streets. Eric also launched his Office’s first Cold Case Unit to deliver justice to victims who have waited far too long. To address the backlog of untested sexual assault kits, Eric launched the SAFE Kit initiative to bring justice for the brave individuals who came forward to tell their stories. Eric has also been committed to tackling the opioid crisis, securing necessary resources for treatment to those affected across the state.
