Holcomb, Mo. — With candidate filing for the next election cycle approaching in less than three months, State Senator Jason Bean (R-Holcomb) is announcing his re-election campaign for the 25th District in the Missouri Senate.

“It has been an honor and privilege to serve the folks of the 25th District in the Missouri Senate the past three years,” said Bean. “I look forward to a productive legislative session, and then will be continuing my travels throughout the region meeting folks and hearing about issues that matter to you.”
A press release from Bean’s office stated that during his tenure, Bean delivered multiple wins and successes for citizens, families, and businesses of Southeast Missouri and the Bootheel. Investments into Southeast Missouri and the Bootheel include funding for the University of Missouri Fisher Delta Research Center and the Boys & Girls Club of the Heartland. Gov.
