Lifelong Missouri resident, small business owner, and Northland advocate Pete Caster is running for Missouri House of Representatives District #16 in 2028.
Pete is running with a focus onlowering crime and taxes and cutting wasteful spending.
Pete Caster decided to run after watching rising crime, worsening road conditions, increasing taxes, and growing frustration among residents who feel disconnected from state leadership.
“I’ve watched crime and drug use increase while a lack of prosecution has started to normalize these behaviors in our community,” said Caster.
“The current system isn’t working. Families and small business owners deserve safe neighborhoods, maintained streets, and leadership that treats taxpayer dollars with respect.”
Caster also points to recent state budget discussions as evidence of significant waste in current spending practices.
“If more than $50 million can be cut from the budget in just a few weeks, then there’s clearly room for better stewardship year-round,” Caster said.
“Missouri residents work hard for their money, and the state government should operate with the same level of responsibility.”
