Policy: Hamra, like his opponent Crystal Quade, hails from southwest Missouri. Based in Springfield, Hamra now controls the family business, Hamra Enterprises. Hamra Enterprises operates nearly 200 restaurant franchise locations.

Hamra has not held political office but he sees that as a good thing. He believes he can cut through the partisan bickering in Jefferson City as an outsider.
