This Senate resolution honors the life and legacy of former Missouri Senator Christopher "Kit" Bond, who passed away on May 13, 2025. The resolution recognizes Bond's extensive public service career, including his time as Missouri State Auditor from 1971-1973, his service as the 47th and 49th Governor of Missouri (1973-1977 and 1981-1985), and his four terms in the U.S. Senate from 1987 to 2011. During his Senate tenure, Bond focused on conservative values, infrastructure development, supporting Missouri farmers, strengthening national defense, expanding housing availability, and promoting literacy and childcare programs. The resolution was sponsored by Missouri's current senators and co-sponsored by all other members of the Senate, directing that an enrolled copy be sent to Bond's family and that the Senate adjourn as a mark of respect. This is a ceremonial resolution with no funding or implementation timeline, serving solely to formally recognize Bond's contributions to Missouri and the nation.
