A Voice For... Education And Our Children

Education is personal for Steve Hodges. Steve first got involved in politics by serving as a member of the East Prairie School Board, even serving as President. Steve has also been a substitute teacher in our local schools.

Steve's wife Amy has been a teacher for over 30 years. Amy followed in her mother's footsteps; as has Steve and Amy’s oldest son who is a teacher.

As a member of the Appropriation-Education Committee, Steve is able to have a strong voice for our children. Steve is fighting for adequate funding in our rural counties. Steve will continue to make sure that our children get a good education and have the opportunities that they need to continue that education by attending college or technical schools, right here in Missouri. Steve Hodges knows that better education means better jobs in our communities.

Steve Hodges has co-sponsored several pieces of legislation that have taken a strong stance to protect our children and grandchildren. Steve has supported legislation ranging from protecting our children from sexual predators on the internet and in person, to strengthening legislation regarding child endangerment, to increasing funding for our children’s healthcare, education and safety.

Steve will continue to be a strong voice for education and our children.
