The year 2025 marked the start of a new governor's term in Missouri, and the deepening of Republican control of the General Assembly. As the year ended, the blame and sorrow over the state losing the Kansas City Chiefs were just beginning.

KCUR’s Brian Ellison sat down with Jason Hancock of the Missouri Independent to look back on the year in state government and politics, and to get a preview of what to watch for in 2026.
