Political career

[edit]

Thomas began their political career in 2020 by running against incumbentIngrid Burnett to represent District 19 in the Missouri House of Representatives. They ultimately lost in the democratic primaries.[3] They unsuccessfully attempted to run against Burnett again in 2022.[4]

After Burnett's retirement, Thomas ran for office in 2024 againstDemocrat Patricia Hernandez andRepublican Karen Spalding.[5] Thomas won the election on November 5, 2024, making them the first openly transgender person elected to a state-level office in Missouri.[6]

In 2025, Republican members of theMissouri Legislature introduced bills to put permanent restrictions on access to sports and gender-affirming care by transgender youth.[7] Thomas, whose initial legislative priorities focused on education, libraries and the arts, made news when they spoke in opposition to the bill.[8]
