to me

My name is Jeff Abney, and my family has deep roots in Jefferson County. I grew up in Fenton, attended Murphy Elementary, North Jefferson, and both Northwests, and I am proud to call this community my home. 

My family is reflective of the hard-working people of this county. From lifelong union workers at the GM plant, tellers at Eagle Bank in Cedar Hill, or the half dozen nurses that have taken care of the people of this county. Including my own mother who raised her children as a single nurse. I come from a family of nurses, teachers, and blue-collar workers that worked hard to take care of their neighbors and believed in personal responsibility and service.  

I bring a lifetime of service to the race. From being a volunteer football coach for 8th graders, assisting the elderly with social security benefits, helping veterans receive the benefits they are entitled to, testifying in front of state legislatures to overturn antiquated laws that unfairly target low-income individuals, winning community service awards while in law school, or serving six years as an active-duty Sergeant in the United States Army.  

Everywhere I have been, I have worked to leave things better than I found them. I intend to do the same in Jefferson City. 

I’m running for State Senate to bring real solutions and real accountability to District 22. I will focus on public engagement, come to common-sense solutions, and measure every vote by one simple question: does this help the people of my district?

This county deserves solution-oriented representation from someone who knows what it is like growing up here and who wants to genuinely improve Jefferson County for everyone. This community deserves representation rooted in integrity, service, and results. I ask for your support as we work to move Jefferson County forward together.
