}}Stephen Webber (born June 8, 1983) is the former Chair of the Missouri Democratic Party.[1] Webber served as a Democratic member of the Missouri House of Representatives from 2009-2016, representing the 46th District in central Missouri. Before taking office, Webber served two tours of duty in Iraq with the United States Marine Corps. He resides in Columbia. Webber is a potential candidate for Missouri governor but has not declared.[2]

Background and education

Webber graduated from Columbia's Hickman High School in 2001.[3] He received his bachelor's degree in economics from Saint Louis University in 2006.[4] Webber received his J.D. in 2013 from the University of Missouri School of Law and is a licensed attorney in the State of Missouri.[5]

Career

Webber has served two tours of duty in Iraq with the United States Marine Corps.[6][7] His first tour, which began in 2004 and lasted 7 months, found him stationed outside Abu Ghraib prison. In 2006, he returned to Iraq, this time to Fallujah, as a squad leader of 12 other Marines.[4][8]

After returning from Iraq, he worked as an aide to Senator Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) in Washington, D.C.[4]

Webber completed his Juris Doctor in 2013 at the University of Missouri-Columbia School of Law and is licensed to practice law in the State of Missouri.

Political career

Election to State House

Democratic primary

On February 19, 2008, Webber announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination to replace Representative Jeff Harris as the member for the 23rd District in the Missouri House of Representatives.[8] Harris, a Democrat, had previously announced he would not run for reelection in order to run for attorney general of Missouri.[9]

Webber defeated opponent Cande Iveson in the August 5, 2008 Democratic primary election, with 3,391 votes to her 1,735,[10] or 66.2 percent to 33.8 percent of the vote.[11]

During the primary campaign, the Columbia Daily Tribune reported that Webber had received a number of "high-powered endorsements" from "education groups, labor unions and a bevy of Columbia political figures"[12] including former Missouri governor Roger B. Wilson[11] and local Democratic booster Bruce Wilson.

General election

Webber ran unopposed in the November 4th, 2008 general election,[13][14] winning 100% of the vote[15] and making him the youngest representative in the state.[16]

In office

Upon election, Webber and fellow incoming representatives Mary Still and Chris Kelly announced a number of legislative initiatives, vowing to increase funding for the University of Missouri,[17] add "robo-calls" to Missouri's No Call List,[18] increase state restrictions on short-term or "payday" loans,[19] and change Missouri election law to allow early voting.[20]

During his first term as representative, Webber sat on the Rules Committee, a Special Standing Committee on Workforce Development and Workplace Safety, and the Homeland Security Committee.[21][22]

State Senate election

In April 2015 State Rep. Stephen Webber announced his intention to seek the 19th District State Senate seat. In his announcement Webber described the importance of the Mid-Missouri community, "When I was sitting in Fallujah, the place I wanted to come back to was Boone County, it wasn't anywhere else in the world," Webber said. "The community has invested a lot in me and I want to make sure we invest in the next generation of Missourians."[23] The incumbent State Senator, Kurt Schaefer, was term limited.
