Caterina Clayton For the Missouri House of Representatives

I am not a career politician. I’m an everyday Missourian who is tired of watching politicians overturn the will of the people and seeing misinformation and division make it impossible to discuss community issues with our neighbors.

As a software and data engineer, I’ve built my career on solving complex problems through careful analysis and collaborative problem-solving – delivering solutions that truly work for the people who depend on them. The best solutions emerge from diverse perspectives working together. Missouri families deserve leaders who prioritize their needs and act in their best interests.

With both my father and my husband having served our country, I’ve seen firsthand the sacrifice and unwavering commitment our military makes to protect our communities. That same spirit of service guides me today. I am running to protect the rights they fought to defend, not to play political games that make everyday life harder.

As an improv comic, I’ve honed the art of listening deeply, building on others’ ideas, and creating something greater together. Decisions made with only ourselves in mind often fall flat, both on and off stage.

In Jefferson City, I will bring respect, common sense, and compassion back to public service. Representing you means listening to your concerns, fighting for your priorities, and ensuring government serves the people, not itself.

Let’s talk –
I want to hear from you.

Your voice shapes my priorities. I want to hear what you think needs attention in our city and what matters most to your family. Questions about my stance on issues? Ideas for making our community better? Please reach out. I’m here to listen and ready to act.
