COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Former Jefferson City Mayor Carrie Tergin filed to form a campaign committee on Tuesday for a potential 2026 state house run.

Tergin served two terms as Jefferson City’s mayor from 2015-23 and was unable to run again because of the city’s term-limit rules. Filings with the Missouri Ethics Commission show she filed a committee on Tuesday in the Missouri House District 59 race and plans to run as a Republican.

The primary in the race is set for Aug. 4, 2026, and candidates can begin filing on Feb. 24.

Republicans Jacob Munson and Victor Rackers filed to create campaign committees for the same seat earlier this year.

The District 59 seat is currently held by Rep. Rudy Veit (R-Wardsville), who will be unable to run again because of term limits.
