Missouri Sen. Rowden on why the Senate did not vote on state health director
Missouri’s Senate majority leader said doubts from multiple senators as well as a shortened workweek due to a snowstorm were two of the reasons the Senate ultimately failed to approve the appointment of Don Kauerauf as director of the Department of Health and Senior Services.
On this episode of Politically Speaking, Sen. Caleb Rowden, R-Columbia, spoke about the failed appointment, along with how he feels the 2022 legislative session has gone so far, one month in.
Here are some of the things Rowden also talked about on the show:
The legislature’s progress on congressional redistricting. It’s been over two weeks since the House passed a proposed map. Discussion on the map on the Senate side is ongoing, but Rowden believes it will likely be taken up next week.
