Shane Schoeller, former director of Government Affairs for the HBAGS, is focused on becoming Missouri’s next Secretary of State.
And he must be doing something right.
That’s because this week, both his opponents in the republican primary have launched misleading negative attack ads trying derail his winning effort by any means necessary.
Would you like to help Shane Schoeller in the stretch drive toward the August 7 primary election? Here are three ways you can:
- Pull a republican primary ballot at your polling place on Tuesday, August 7 and vote for Shane Schoeller (and make sure ten of your friends and family do the same).
- Contribute financially online today. Negative and misleading political ads don’t have to be true to be effective. And it takes money to respond. Shane has pledged not to “go negative” against his opponents in this election, but he can’t let false attacks go unanswered. Your contribution (big or small) will help him respond with the facts.

- Volunteer to help get out the vote this weekend before the election. If you’d be willing to help by walking neighborhoods, dropping off literature, or making get-out-the-vote phone calls this weekend, contact the campaign today.
Schoeller was elected to serve as a state representative for three terms and most recently served as the second most powerful member of leadership in the state house, the Speaker Pro Tem. Schoeller was functioning in that leadership role when both of the HBA’s top priority legislative agenda items (fire sprinkler mandatory option and work comp reform) passed in 2011 and 2012.
In addition to focusing on issues of preventing election fraud and supporting voter ID requirements, Schoeller also wants to focus ways to reduce red tape for employers as they interact with Missouri’s Secretary of State’s office. He will use the office to keep an eye on state agencies rule-making powers so they do not unnecessarily burden Missouri families and businesses — the Secretary of State has oversight of the rule making powers of state agencies, especially over emergency rule making. Schoeller wants to ensure that state agencies do not abuse their regulatory powers to stifle Missouri businesses and employers.
Because of this focus on curbing the bureaucratic/ regulatory burden on business and his longtime support of the housing industry, the Coalition for Building a Better Tomorrow (your political action committee) approved financial support of Schoeller’s campaign for Secretary of State.
