What Mike Lindell has to do with Missouri’s Amendment 8

What do the MyPillow guy, a fight over gun laws in Illinois and Missouri’s county sheriffs have in common? Quite a bit, as it turns out. This week on Missouri on the Record, host Jason Hancock talks with reporter Rebecca Rivas about the surprising story behind Amendment 8, a proposal to put the office of county sheriff into Missouri’s Constitution. They trace the amendment’s roots to a 2023 visit by Mike Lindell to the Missouri Capitol, explore the national “constitutional sheriff” movement and explain how a proposal to give sheriffs sweeping new powers evolved into something much narrower.
