Missouri Rep. Steve Butz on stemming tide of gun violence in St. Louis

State Rep. Steve Butz is the latest guest on Politically Speaking, where the St. Louis Democrat talked about stemming gun violence.

Butz represents Missouri’s 81st District, which takes in portions of south St. Louis. He was first elected to the Missouri House in 2018 and was reelected in 2020 and 2022.

Here’s what Butz discussed on the show:

  • His hope that there is increasing momentum in Jefferson City to bar juveniles from carrying guns after a shooting at a downtown St. Louis party left one person dead and 11 people injured.
  • Why he supports a board appointed by a governor to oversee the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department. That idea gained traction this session but failed to get across the finish line.
  • What issues could be priorities in the 2024 legislative session, such as an effort to legalize sports betting and a ballot item to make constitutional amendments more difficult to pass.
  • Democratic prospects for the 2024 election cycle, including whether the party can field competitive candidates for governor and the U.S. Senate.

Butz is a longtime resident of southeast St. Louis who is president of Crawford Butz Insurance Agency, one of the state’s largest family-owned insurance companies. He first ran for the House in 2016, falling short to eventual winner Fred Wessels.

But after Wessels decided not to run for another term in 2018, Butz ran again for the seat — this time winning a close Democratic primary against Travis Estes. After running unopposed in 2020, Butz defeated then-St. Louis Alderman Bill Stephens in the Democratic primary, which is tantamount to election in the heavily Democratic district.

Butz serves on House committees dealing with insurance, tax policy and transportation.

Mike Jones says U.S. Senate race could test how Missouri views Black candidates

Mike Jones talks about St. Louis Prosecutor Wesley Bell’s entrance into the U.S. Senate race and the state of the St. Louis region’s politics on the latest edition of the Politically Speaking podcast.

Jones’ roles over the past few decades include St. Louis alderman, corporate executive, head of the St. Louis housing authority and adviser to a St. Louis mayor and a St. Louis County executive. He also served on the state Board of Education.

Here’s what Jones had to say on the show:

  • His take on where St. Louis regional politics and policy stand now. 
  • How St. Louis County’s political culture is wildly different from St. Louis’ and what that means for the two jurisdictions’ approach to public policy.
  • With roughly two years left before she faces voters again, Jones talked about St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones’ prospects for reelection and how voters may react to problems around trash pickup and water service.
  • His analysis on how Bell stacks up in a Democratic primary with Lucas Kunce. The winner of that contest will likely face GOP Sen. Josh Hawley next year.
  • If Bell makes it out of the primary, Jones said, his candidacy could be a test for white Missouri voters considering the state has never elected a Black candidate to a statewide office.

Jones began his political career more than three decades ago as a St. Louis alderman in the city’s 21st Ward. Since then, he’s become a go-to adviser for state, city and county officials. Jones is also a columnist for the St. Louis American, writing about regional and national politics.
