Springfield Police Officers Association

The SPOA is proud to announce our endorsement for Melanie Stinnett for Missouri Senate District 30!

Representative Melanie Stinnett proudly serves Springfield in the Missouri House of Representatives and has built a reputation as a strong advocate for safe communities, strong families, and responsible government.

Before entering public service, Melanie built a successful pediatric therapy clinic in Springfield that helped thousands of Missouri children and created jobs for local families. Her work with children and families shaped her commitment to practical, results-driven leadership and a deep understanding of what Missouri families need to thrive.

Since being elected to the Missouri House, Melanie has been a consistent and dependable supporter of Missouri’s law enforcement community. She has backed legislation and budget priorities to ensure officers and first responders have the resources, training, and support they need to do their jobs safely and effectively.

Melanie sponsored and passed House Bill 946, legislation that helps recruit and retain law enforcement officers in Missouri by allowing their spouses to more easily transfer professional licenses when relocating to our state. This commonsense reform reduces barriers for law enforcement families and makes Missouri a more attractive place for officers to live, work, and serve.

In addition, Melanie has supported investments in law enforcement training, public safety infrastructure, and community-based safety initiatives. She has consistently opposed efforts to defund police and has stood firmly with officers who put their lives on the line every day.

Melanie believes safe communities begin with strong partnerships between law enforcement and the people they serve. She is committed to ensuring Missouri remains a state where officers are respected, supported, and equipped to protect our neighborhoods.
Melanie lives in Springfield with her husband Nathan and their two sons. She remains deeply committed to serving her community and working every day to make Missouri a safer, stronger place to live and raise a family.
