A Missouri GOP lawmaker has proposed a bill that would allow felons to run for various offices, invoking President-elect Donald Trump in the discussion. Supporters believe the legislation could aid in the reintegration of felons into society.
The proposal has attracted bipartisan interest, with some Democrats showing support, suggesting a political shift in Missouri. Dubbed the “Donald J. Trump Election Qualification Act,” the legislation –– put forth by State Rep. Michael Davis –– would repeal a 2015 law that barred those who are convicted of, or plead guilty to felonies, from running for office, according to the Missouri Independent.
