August 4, 2026 Primary Election
2026 Republican Primary Ballot
As part of OCRC’s mission to recruit strong conservative candidates and support Republicans as allowed under Missouri law, we provide $100 campaign contributions to those who have successfully filed their candidacy for county offices and received OCRC’s nomination. For state and federal offices, OCRC does not nominate those candidates — but we recognize those who choose to demonstrate that their values are in fact Republican values.
The candidates below for county-level offices have been nominated by OCRC. The state and federal candidates have demonstrated their Republican values.
March 29th was the deadline to complete OCRC process (vetting) for county-level nominations
