Policy: Basinger says Missouri politics have been dominated by extremists engaged in political theater for too long.

His biggest issues are abortion access and school funding, per Basinger's website. He also says he'll work to expand access to health care, get financial relief for working-class Missourians and push for "reasonable" gun laws and government accountability.

Basinger has been actively raising and spending money in the campaign, with most of his contributions coming from individual donors.
