“She has my full support.”

(JOPLIN, MO) — State Senator Jill Carter announced that she has received the endorsement of Missouri’s chief law enforcement official, Attorney General Catherine Hanaway.

“Our office worked hand-in-hand to pass a law and order agenda that included enhanced truth in sentencing, harsher penalties for child groomers and human traffickers, and protecting Missourians’ Second Amendment rights. She will continue to do an excellent job representing the 32nd Senatorial District and has my full support,” said Attorney General Hanaway.

“I am honored to have General Hanaway’s support. During her time in the Missouri legislature she helped Republicans gain the majority in the Missouri General Assembly, and as Attorney General she has been successful in getting dangerous criminals off our streets and keeping them behind bars. I look forward to continuing to work with her to keep Missouri the best place to raise a family,” said State Senator Carter.

Senator Carter has been a resident of Southwest Missouri for 36 years and graduated from East Newton High School and Crowder College. Before winning election to the Missouri State Senate in 2022 she spent a decade traveling to the capitol advocating for seniors, veterans, and parental rights. Senator Carter has received an A+ Rating from the NRA and was named 2025 Legislator of the Year by the Missouri Association of Prosecuting Attorneys. She has received the sole endorsement from the Fraternal Order of Police, Missouri Sheriff’s Association, Missouri Firearms Coalition, Missouri Cattlemen’s Association, Missouri Farm Bureau, and Missouri Right to Life.
