I am a mom who cares passionately about making Missouri a better place for children and families. I am a lawyer who has practiced family ad education law. I am a state representative who works hard for her constituents and for the state of Missouri.

  • I work to make Missouri a better place for children and families.
  • I work to help my constituents resolve problems with state government agencies.
  • I work to educate and inform my constituents about the Missouri state legislature.

I am passionate about healthcare, which I believe is a right that everyone should have. I work hard on Medicaid enrollment issues, to help make healthcare affordable, and to improve public health in Missouri.

I am passionate about families. I work hard to help children grow to their full potential by working for public education and on violence prevention. I am a board member on the St. Louis Crisis Nursery to help children whose families are in crisis. I work against human trafficking and labor exploitation. I work on the child welfare system to try to increase the level of support we give families to reduce the number of children in foster care.

I am passionate about governmental accountability. I serve on the budget committee so that I can ask state departments tough questions about how those departments operate and how they are spending money.

I'm running for re-election as your State Representative from House District 91 to continue to make Missouri a better place for children and families.

My passion is helping people who are disenfranchised by current systems. I graduated from Washington University Law School in 2005, and my practice has focused on family and education law.

I have represented families whose cries for help for their disabled children have been ignored. I have seen moms struggling with addiction turn their lives around to become good parents. I have handled debt collection cases, where I saw the gamesmanship debt collectors use to profit off people who are already struggling. And I have handled guardianship cases where family dynamics cause further damage to the most vulnerable family members.

I have been an active member of CHADD (Children and Adults with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder), where I served as chapter coordinator in 2014 and 2015. As coordinator, I developed community connections and worked to expand the chapter's visibility in St. Louis. I am a member of the National Women's Political Caucus, Moms Demand Action, and Webster Groves Toastmasters. I am an active member of my church, and participate with Metropolitan Congregations United through my church.

  • We need to prioritize a healthy population through public health measures and access to healthcare.
  • We need to prioritize our future through a healthy economy and quality schools for all of our kids.
  • We need to prioritize safety through common-sense gun laws.

I'm passionate about making sure everyone has access to healthcare and a quality education.

Listening to constituents, working with other legislators from both parties, and communicating with constituents.

I want to be a legislator that others try to model themselves after.

I was in third grade when the challenger exploded. I remember watching it in school.

The Senate has more opportunities for bipartisan collaboration because it is smaller and there are better relationships between Senators of different parties. The Senate has the filibuster, which gives any individual Senator more power.

The House has more control over the budget. The House drafts the budget based on the Governor's recommendations and has significant oversight over state agencies through the drafting process.

Yes. There is a steep learning curve as a state legislator, and prior experience helps a legislator understand the process. With term limits, we constantly have a large part of the legislature who is new and just starting along that process. It is helpful to have members of that class of legislators who understand the process better.

The budget. We have a requirement of a balanced budget, and we also have the Hancock amendment, which requires any tax increases to go to a vote of the people. We don't have any hindrances on cutting taxes, though, and there have been significant tax cuts over the past several years.

We have the lowest paid state workforce in the nation, and we are spending lots of money on contracts for things that we could be doing within the state government. We have one of the least healthy populations in the nation, and we have the lowest cigarette tax.

I favor the Clean Missouri initiative that was passed in 2018. We need a process to draw fair maps, and having politicians draw them the way Amendment 3 does isn't fair.

Noteworthy events

Democratic Gubernatorial Primary Candidacy (2024)

On February 27, 2024, the Missouri Democratic Party declined to accept Unsicker's filing fee to run for governor of Missouri in the Democratic primary. A letter from James Paul, the party's legal counsel, said, "Having been removed from the House Democratic Caucus by your peers, the Missouri Democratic Party does not wish to associate with you as a candidate."[9] While this did not preclude Unsicker from running as a Republican or member of a minor party, she declined to do so. Unsicker also declined to make a statement regarding being removed from the race.[10]

Expulsion from Missouri House Democratic Caucus (2023)

On December 21, 2023, the Missouri House Democrats voted to expel Unsicker from the caucus. This vote followed her removal from her committee assignments two weeks prior. The caucus leadership released a joint statement saying, "The House Democratic Caucus is dedicated to the values of inclusiveness, tolerance and respect. When a member fails to uphold those standards, the caucus has a duty to act. Rep. Unsicker is free to choose her associations, but the caucus enjoys that same freedom. As a result, House Democrats today voted to end its association with Rep. Unsicker by expelling her as a caucus member."[11]

Unsicker responded to the expulsion saying, "I have appreciated the opportunity to work as a Missouri Democrat since I was elected in 2016. I believe the charges against me are a character assassination from a wing of the party that I want nothing to do with...I do not believe anyone is being honest about the reasons they want to remove me from the House Democratic Caucus."[11]

Removal from Missouri House committee assignments (2023)

On December 8, 2023, the House Minority Leader, Rep. Crystal Quade, removed Unsicker from her committee assignments after Unsicker posted a selfie with a social media influencer who is an alleged Holocaust denier. In an explanation of the removal, Rep. Quade said, "During her time in the legislature, Rep. Sarah Unsicker has proven a strong advocate for society’s vulnerable, especially children. Recently, however, she has chosen to use social media to promote individuals who espouse baseless conspiracies and racist and anti-Semitic ideologies that are antithetical to the values of inclusiveness, tolerance and respect House Democrats are dedicated to upholding."[12]

In response to her removal from her committee assignments, Unsicker stated, "I have not been offered any explanation of how my behavior was different from my typical behavior, including my refusal to respond to slanderous representations about others."[12]

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Missouri

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
