We sit down with St. Louis Recorder of Deeds Michael Butler to unpack how AI can make government faster and safer without cutting people, and to map the long game of Missouri politics where policy wins often outpace party wins. The throughline is mission over personality—use tech to serve residents and organize for durable change.

• why back-office AI beats shiny chatbots
• human-in-the-loop workflows for records and filings
• shifting roles without cutting pay
• fixing service deficits by redeploying staff
• procurement lag and outdated govtech
• Missouri’s political pendulum and ballot wins
• candidate profiles that connect beyond cities
• gerrymandering’s dilution and upset math
• organizing timelines and suburban pathways
• practical resources for St. Louis residents
