Randolph County, MO – Sarah Graff, a longtime Republican activist and community leader, has officially announced her candidacy to replace term-limited Cindy O’Laughlin in the Missouri Senate. The district includes fourteen counties in Northeast Missouri. The Republican primary election is set for August 4, 2026.
“I am running to ensure the steadfast conservative leadership we are accustomed to here in Northeast Missouri continues in the future. I look forward to continuing to meet with voters and keeping government accountable to the people,” Graff said.
With deep roots in Northeast Missouri, Graff brings years of experience in government and community service. She currently serves as a member of the Moberly City Council and was recently awarded the “Henry S. Geyer Award” from the Mizzou Alumni Association for her advocacy for higher education. Her husband, Jody, owns a habitat development business for waterfowl throughout North Missouri. Sarah’s background in grassroots leadership will provide a strong voice for the needs of Northeast Missouri families, businesses, and farmers.
