Coming from humble beginnings, former Senator Thompson Rehder focused her legislative efforts to stand for the very things that changed her path: hard work, personal responsibility, and a strong faith in God. Growing up on welfare, Holly believes that the current system too often hinders our ability to rise to our potential. She often speaks to at-risk kids about growing up in and around drug addiction and domestic violence, becoming a mother at 16, and making the choice to raise her family differently. She stresses to them that God honors hard work, obedience, and dedication–regardless of where you’ve come from. Since being elected in 2013, and for her 12-years in office, Holly continually fought to update Missouri’s laws surrounding mental health, drug addiction, sexual assault, domestic violence, and welfare reforms. Senator Thompson Rehder believes that drawing from her upbringing and path out of poverty, is the best way to make a difference in other people’s lives. Senator Thompson Rehder brings a unique perspective to the current opioid crisis and has become a sought-after speaker on the topic. An elected Republican who always spoke candidly from personal experience as someone who lived it as a child, got out as a teen, only to see her daughter caught in it, is a bit of an anomaly.
