The 2016 Missouri Elections happened on November 8, 2016. Republicans did fantastic in these elections as they swept nearly all of the statewide offices and the Democratic Party's footprint at the state level was nonexistent. There were no Democrats that won in this election. The remaining candidates that would be up for re-election would be in for a tough fight as the Republican Party expanded their footprint in the state. United States Senator Claire McKaskil and State Auditor Nicole Galloway were the only Democrats left after the Republicans did phenomenally in this state.
