Cheri Toalson Reisch

Cheri Toalson Reisch is an American politician who sits in the Missouri House of Representatives representing District 44. Reisch is a member of the Republican Party.[1] She is the sixth-generation of her family to live in Boone County, Missouri, her ancestors having settled in the county in the 1810s.[2]

Reisch is currently being sued for blocking a constituent on Twitter.[3] In June 2018, Reisch tweeted that it was "sad to see" her 2018 election opponent, veterinarian Maren Bell Jones, put her hands behind her back during the Pledge of Allegiance at a Boone County Farm Bureau event that both candidates attended. The constituent was then blocked on Twitter after he retweeted a post by state Rep. Kip Kendrick, D-Columbia, that criticized Reisch's statement.[4]
