Ann Wagner (2026)
Missouri Congresswoman Ann Wagner says that President Trump made the right decision to attack Iran, contending that the GOP president needed to prevent that country from procuring a nuclear weapon.
And while the Ballwin Republican said on an episode of “Politically Speaking” that she wanted the conflict to end as soon as possible, she defended her ‘no’ votes on War Powers resolutions that sought to curtail Trump’s ability to use military force in Iran.
“The president has his Article Two authorities to conduct what he is doing right now with Iran,” Wagner said. “He doesn't need Congress's permission or or non permission. Those are just political throwaway votes that the Democrats try to toss out there on a monthly basis. I'm going to give the president his prerogative in continuing this, to the extent that it takes to make sure that they're not nuclearized, to make sure that they're not attacking American citizens, to make sure that when they chant ‘Death to America,’ that it doesn't have any teeth behind it.
“I believe that this will come to a quick end,” she added.
Wagner is squaring off against Democrat Fred Wellman to represent Missouri’s 2nd Congressional District, which takes in portions of St. Louis County, St. Charles County and Warren County and all of Franklin County.
