Michael Colona

In 2008, Mike Colona’s savvy and aggressive campaign won him 42 percent of the vote in a five-way Democratic primary, leading his nearest challenger by 17 points. Since then, Mike has worked on behalf of his constituents with the same amount of energy that he campaigned for his seat in the House of Representatives.

During his first term, Mike’s legislative priorities included improving education, economic development and advocating for civil liberties issues. He pushed to make Missouri’s education system more effective and lobbied for new incentives to spur business growth. He also fought to reform insurance regulation for the benefit of the consumer in an effort to provide greater access to criminal representation through public defender reform legislation.

Having grown up in Missouri, Mike has sustained a successful legal career in his home state. Not only does he specialize in handling first amendment, personal injury and worker’s compensation cases, Mike has served as an adjunct professor of criminology at the University of Missouri – St. Louis since 1998.

Mike’s strong campaigning during his first election and successes in his first term have placed him in a good position to be re-elected. However, Mike knows that no election is certain and still plans to run a strong campaign. Help position him for success with a contribution to his campaign.
