Republican lawmakers in Missouri have introduced legislation to rename several stretches of highways in the state after President-elect Donald Trump.

State Sen. Mary Elizabeth Coleman (R-Arnold) filed Senate Bill 321 earlier this month, which would rename portions of the state highway system as “Donald J Trump Highway.” The bill specifies that areas located in Boone County, Jackson County, St. Louis County and St. Louis City would be exempt. According to St. Louis Today, these were areas that were carried by Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.

State Sen. Nick Schroer (R-Defiance) filed Senate Bill 500, which would also name a section of Highway 94 west after Trump. Both bills call for the costs to be covered by private donations and go into effect in August 2025.

This is the second attempt Coleman has made to rename roads after Trump. In 2021, she filed a bill to name a portion of Interstate 55 after Trump, reportedly saying it was “her way of saying ‘thank you’ to President Trump for strengthening Missouri’s economy, defending our values, and making America great again during his historic first term.” This proposal failed twice in 2021 and 2022.

Coleman has served in the Missouri Senate since 2023 after a brief tenure in the Missouri House of Representatives. In 2024, she conducted two failed runs for the U.S. House and Secretary of State’s office.
