Issues
Webber has a long history in Democratic politics in Boone County and statewide.
He has been a strong supporter of Democratic causes and his campaign emphasizes his commitment to public education and women's right to abortion. Webber is also a union member with the AFL-CIO.
Webber has also campaigned for legal protections for the LGBTQ community. He supported Medicaid expansion, which Republican members of the Missouri General Assembly largely opposed.
Republican Caleb Rowden has held the 19th District seat for four years. Webber could take the seat back for Democrats, as the 19th District is limited to Boone County, with Columbia's strong Democratic voter base.
