Mike Moon (politician)

Mike Moon is an American politician serving as a member of the Missouri Senate, who previously served in the Missouri House of Representatives. He is a member of the Republican Party.

Political career
Moon ran for Missouri's 7th congressional district against former US Rep. Billy Long in 2010 and 2012, and primaried for Long's vacated seat in the 2022 US House of Representatives elections. After running for Congress in 2012, Mike Moon served the 157th District in the Missouri House of Representatives from 2013 to 2020. In 2020, he was elected to represent the 29th District in the Missouri Senate, and in 2024, he was re-elected to the Missouri Senate. During his campaign for United States House of Representatives, Moon was temporarily removed from all committee assignments by Senate Republican leader Dave Schatz for wearing overalls on senate floor. Following a filibuster in which he called Schatz a "dictator," Moon apologized and had his appointments returned. In 2025, Moon attempted to block Mike Kehoe's appointment of Schatz to the Franklin County Commission by filibuster in the Missouri Senate. Moon was a member of the Missouri Senate "conservative caucus" until it disbanded in 2022. The group had openly quarreled with fellow Missouri Republicans in session and were at one point accused of turning a session into a "clown show" by Senate Majority Leader Caleb Rowden. At other times, Republican senators sought procedural measures to reduce the impact of caucus's "glorified publicity stunts" on proceedings. ==Political positions==
Political positions
Abortion Moon is anti-abortion, citing "putting an end to abortion" in Missouri as one of his top priorities. Prior to its reversal, he did not believe states were obligated to enforce Roe v. Wade (1973), and has introduced several anti-abortion bills during his time as a state representative, including the Never Again Act (which proposed requiring the Missouri State Museum to have an exhibit featuring tools used in abortion), (which proposed abolishing abortion in Missouri). In 2017, Moon posted a video of himself butchering chickens on his family farm on social media, chiding his fellow Missouri legislators for not getting to the "heart of the matter" and abolishing abortion in Missouri outright. Governor Mike Parson has called Missouri's high maternal mortality rates "embarrassing and absolutely unacceptable." The bill passed without Moon's provision during his absence, and on his return he blocked all Senate action for a full day as retribution. In 2025, Moon stepped down from the Families, Seniors and Health Committee rather than accept an exception for survivors of rape or incest on an abortion ban bill filed by Adam Schnelting. Against LGBT education and healthcare Mike Moon has introduced bills allowing parents to not have their children participate in sex education classes, requiring internet service providers to ban "obscene" websites, prohibiting doctors from providing transgender children with gender affirming care or hormonal treatment, Child marriage When challenged by Rep. Peter Merideth in April 2023 on arguments related to transgender youth, Moon defended his 2018 stance on child marriage in which he opposed legislation that raised the marriage age from 15 to 16, and requires parental consent for older teenagers to marry. After his comments went viral, Moon claimed he did not have enough time to explain his vote and that he does not support adults marrying children. Moon's argument in defense of child marriage in both 2018 and 2023 are an anecdote about a couple he met in college who married at age 12 as a result of pregnancy and are "still married." In April 2024 and again in March 2025, Moon cast the sole senate vote against legislation intended to completely ban child marriage in Missouri. Corporate tax Moon wants to eliminate corporate tax, as well as what he deems as "unnecessary regulation". to change exemptions that allow fertilization distributors to dump waste without effective restrictions. Religion In 2019, he requested Missouri governor Mike Parson to not allow the replacement of a statue of the Roman goddess Ceres to the top of the Missouri Capitol in Jefferson City, calling the statue a "false god." ==Awards==
