Immigration & Border
Ann Wagner emphasizes stronger border security and enforcement measures, supporting policies that deter illegal immigration and hold foreign governments accountable for cooperation with U.S. removal efforts. She has backed measures to maintain Title 42-era expulsions and introduced legislation to increase visa fees for nationals of countries deemed uncooperative with deportations and trafficking countermeasures.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate opposes abortion except in cases of rape, incest, and to save the life of the mother, and has sponsored and supported legislation that restricts abortion-related practices (for example, introducing the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act). She has received endorsements from pro-life organizations and voted with GOP-led, pro-restriction measures.
Climate & Energy
Supports an "all-of-the-above" energy approach that includes fossil fuels, nuclear, and renewables and opposes aggressive federal regulation of greenhouse gases and some DOE clean-energy programs. Voting record and outside-scorecards show consistent votes against major climate regulations and clean-energy incentives and support for increased domestic fossil-fuel development.
Public Safety & Guns
Opposes additional federal gun laws and identifies as a supporter of the Second Amendment; favors enforcing existing laws, prosecuting criminals, and strengthening law enforcement. Supports standalone measures on mental health and school safety rather than new broad gun restrictions.
Latest News
Ann Wagner is in the news because Missouri is moving ahead with its 2026 House primary under a newly drawn congressional map, even though the map’s legal status is still being challenged. The dispute could affect which districts are used to nominate candidates in August and which ones are used in the November election. The situation leaves her race tied to an unresolved court and referendum fight over the state’s congressional boundaries.
