From United States president to local contests in Missouri, St. Louis County and South County, a number of important elections were decided Tuesday, Nov. 5.
Though St. Louis County has released 100% of votes, results are unofficial and will remain so until no later than Dec. 10, per the Missouri Secretary of State.
There were few upsets on election night in South County, as incumbents appeared to easily win reelection.
Incumbent Ann Wagner, R-Ballwin, will serve a seventh consecutive term after defeating Ray Hartmann (D) for the U.S. House of Representative District 2 seat.
In state legislative races all incumbents were victorious.
Incumbent Doug Beck, D-Affton, defeated Robert Crump (R) for the Missouri Senate District 1 seat; incumbent Michael Burton, D-Lakeshire, defeated Kenneth Abram (R) for the 92nd Missouri House District seat; incumbent Bridget Walsh Moore, D-Affton, defeated third-party candidate James O’Donnell (L) for the 93rd Missouri House District; incumbent Jim Murphy, R-Oakville, defeated Kyle Kerns (D) for the 94th Missouri House District seat; incumbent Michael O’Donnell, R-Oakville, defeated Deb Langland (D) for the 95th Missouri House District;; and incumbent Brad Christ, R-Sappington, defeated Leslie Derrington (D) for the 96th Missouri House District seat.
One newcomer to public office, Mike Archer (R), won the St. Louis County Council 6th District seat over Kevin Schartner (D). Incumbent Ernie Trakas, R-Oakville, lost his third-term reelection bid in the Republican primary against Archer on Aug. 6.
Statewide, Amendments 2 and 3 passed, legalizing sports betting and enshrining abortion rights in the state constitution, respectively.
Missouri Proposition A, an initiative that will increase the minimum wage to $15 per hour and require businesses to provide their employees with paid sick days, and Green Park Proposition M, imposing an additional 3% sales tax on all retail sales of adult-use marijuana sold within the city also passed.
