Kurt Schaefer Biography

Kurt Schaefer is one of the most popular and richest Lawyer who was born on October 27, 1965 in St. Louis, St. Louis, United States. Kurt Schaefer (born October 27, 1965) is a former Republican member of the Missouri Senate, representing the 19th District from 2009–2017. In 2016, Schaefer ran against Josh Hawley for Missouri Attorney General, but was defeated for the Republican nomination in the August 2 primary.

Among other career highlights, Schaefer oversaw the emergency response and cleanup of the destruction caused by AmerenUE’s Taum Sauk Reservoir failure in December, 2005, negotiating a settlement for the state’s natural resource damages of Johnsons Shut-Ins State Park valued at $179 million.

Kurt Schaefer was elected to represent the 19th Senate District of Missouri in 2008 in a hotly contested election where he defeated incumbent Democratic Senator Chuck Graham. In the Senate, Schaefer serves as the Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee and serves on the Senate Committees on Judiciary and Civil and Criminal Jurisprudence and Commerce, Consumer Protection, Energy and the Environment.

In the legislature, Schaefer sponsored a measure dubbed Amendment Five that was approved by voters by an overwhelming margin in August 2014. The amendment enshrines in the Missouri Constitution an individuals right to bear arms and protects against potential actions taken by the state legislature to infringe upon that right. A Missouri judge has ruled that the amendment permits felons to own guns. While running for Attorney General in 2015, he chaired the “Sanctity of Life Committee” in the Missouri senate. This committee was formed in reaction to the Planned Parenthood 2015 undercover videos controversy, though the Missouri Attorney General found no evidence of illegality in Planned Parenthood’s actions. In August 2015 the committee requested testimony from the MU Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin regarding the associations between the University of Missouri and Planned Parenthood. After this testimony Loftin withdrew the university from 10 agreements with Planned Parenthood where medical students could complete clinical hours and terminated, and terminated the “refer and follow” privileges of a Planned Parenthood doctor in Columbia, which made the local clinic unable to legally perform abortions in Missouri. Shortly after these events the dean of the school of medicine resigned. Following this in November 2015, Schaefer also attempted to curtail a graduate student research project examining the effects of Missouri’s abortion laws which require a three-day waiting period after initial consultation before an abortion can be performed. Schaefer sent a letter to the MU Chancellor’s office claiming the research violates a ban on using state money to “encourage abortion”, though the research project is unfunded and receives no state funding.

In 2002, Schaefer sought a nomination as a Democrat by the 13th Circuit Democratic Committee for a judicial position. Subsequently, he ran for office as a Republican.
