Meet Donna

Rep. Donna M.C. Baringer, a Democrat, represented the city of St. Louis (District 82) in the Missouri House of Representatives from 2016 to 2024. While in the State House, Rep. Baringer was assigned to many task forces and committees on issues ranging from crime and financial responsibility to Congressional redistricting. Prior to this, she served 14 years as a City of St. Louis Alderwoman.

During her first term in office, Rep. Baringer worked diligently to advance compassionate, common sense legislation that would expand access to Cannabidiol (CBD) oil for individuals with serious medical conditions such as cancer, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s, HIV/AIDS, ALS, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. As one of the few legislators to have legislation passed both years of their first term, she has passed legislation to expand the Donated Food Tax Credit to include donations to local soup kitchens or homeless shelters and legislation that requires temporary license permits to be returned to the Department of Revenue upon the issue of permanent registration plates.
