Political Positions
Economy & Taxes
Betsy Fogle supports fully funding public schools, childcare, Medicaid expansion, and other public services, and she argues the economy should work for working people. She opposes eliminating Missouri’s income tax in its current form because she says it would reduce revenue and likely shift costs onto families through higher sales taxes or taxes on goods and services.
Healthcare
Supports Medicaid expansion and broader access to affordable medical, dental, and behavioral health care. Has also sponsored legislation to require insurance coverage for in vitro fertilization and has described Medicaid expansion as a positive for Missourians because it increases access to health care and primary care clinics.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Betsy Fogle has described abortion-related legislation in Missouri as criminalizing women, including cases involving ectopic pregnancy, and has said government should stay out of personal decisions. Her campaign also emphasizes support for healthcare access and reproductive care, including work in an OBGYN setting and protecting women’s health.
Climate & Energy
Betsy Fogle has sponsored legislation to establish community solar gardens in Missouri. That indicates support for expanding access to renewable energy and distributed solar rather than relying only on traditional fossil-fuel generation.
Public Safety & Guns
Betsy Fogle has backed gun-violence prevention measures in the Missouri legislature, including a 2024 firearms-related constitutional amendment and a 2026 bill to create a task force on gun violence in St. Louis. She has also said Missouri should be willing to have conversations about keeping kids and people in the streets safe from gun violence while fully funding law enforcement and public safety.
