Dave Wasinger is a Republican candidate running for Missouri Lieutenant Governor in 2024. Born and raised in Hannibal, Missouri, Wasinger earned degrees from the University of Missouri and Vanderbilt University Law School. He co-owns a law firm in St. Louis and has experience litigating high-profile cases against major banks following the 2008 financial crisis.

Wasinger positions himself as a conservative outsider and "America First" candidate. His key policy stances include tackling crime in Missouri, supporting law enforcement, opposing illegal immigration, and promoting tourism to boost the state's economy. He advocates for sending troops to the U.S.-Mexico border and wants to "shake things up" in Jefferson City.

A strong supporter of Second Amendment rights and the pro-life movement, Wasinger has been endorsed by Missouri Right to Life and U.S. Rep. Eric Burlison. He has invested significantly in his campaign, contributing $2.6 million of his own funds.
