Candidates and Platforms
Taylor grew up in the West End neighborhood of St. Louis and earned a bachelor’s degree from Washington University in St. Louis. He is an engineer whose career has included supply chain and computer systems work. In the House, he is the ranking Democrat on the Ways and Means Committee.
On his campaign website, Taylor highlights his opposition to Amendments 4 and 5, which Republican lawmakers placed on the August ballot and voters rejected by wide margins. Amendment 4 would have required citizen-initiated constitutional amendments to win a majority in every congressional district, and Amendment 5 would have phased out the state income tax. He also says he supports restoring the right to make reproductive decisions and will keep pushing firearm restrictions for people under domestic abuse protective orders.

Democrats flipped 16 Missouri House seats on Nov. 3, winning 68 of 163 seats in a preliminary count and ending the Republican supermajority that had held for 14 years.
