Dr. Bob Onder’s Priorities
Fighting illegal immigration
As a member of the Missouri House, Dr. Onder sponsored and passed HB1549 in 2008 to ban Sanctuary Cities, crack down on public employers and contractors who hire illegal aliens, and end catch-and-release of illegal aliens. The Federation for American Immigration Reform called this the strongest state law in the country to fight illegal immigration.
Defending Life
Dr. Onder was the author of 2017’s SB1/SB5, restoring common sense health and safety standards on abortion clinics and protecting pregnancy care centers. In committee he was a principal author of 2019’s HB 126, the “Heartbeat Bill,” which Missouri Right to Life called the most important pro-life bill in Missouri history. HB 126 included a trigger clause that enabled Missouri to be the first in the nation to protect all innocent human life.
Standing Up for the Second Amendment
Dr. Onder was a leader in the Senate leading to the passage of Constitutional Carry in 2016 and the Second Amendment Preservation Act in 2019. He also sponsored legislation to expand the Castle Doctrine and to allow exercise of one’s constitutional rights on public transit (“Metro Carry”).
Fighting the Woke Agenda
Dr. Onder sponsored legislation, SB638, to guard against public school children being indoctrinated with divisive Critical Race Theory. He was the sponsor of SJR 39, the Religious Liberty Amendment, in 2016. He filed and passed legislation in 2021 to reign in COVID public health tyrants. After leaving the Senate 2023 he led citizen groups in the fight against gender activists, leading to the passage of legislation to protect women’s sports and outlaw harmful transgender hormonal or surgical “treatments” of children.
securing Our Election
In 2022, Dr. Onder was the Senate leader in negotiating a package of election reforms, HB1878, that made Missouri’s voting system among the most secure in the nation. In doing so, he thwarted proposals to extend early voting, mail-in voting, and drop boxes. The final bill banned Zuckerbucks and mandated paper ballots.
Supports Welfare Reform
Dr. Onder led successful fights against Obamacare Medicaid Expansion in 2021, and against Bidencare Medicaid Expansion in 2022. Also in 2022, Dr. Onder fought a Democrat-sponsored plan, SB 798, that would have allowed food stamps to be used for restaurant meals and fast food.
