Lincoln Hough (/ˈlɪŋkən hʌf/; born June 17, 1982) is an American politician. He was first elected to the Missouri House of Representatives in 2010, where he served three terms. He served as Greene County Commissioner from 2016 to 2018. In November 2018, he was elected to represent the 30th District, including the city of Springfield, in the Missouri Senate.

Hough is a candidate in the 2024 Missouri lieutenant gubernatorial election.

Early life and education

Hough is a first generation rancher. In 7th grade, he began raising cattle on his family's 40 acres after buying three heifers with a loan from his parents. He went on to work for a neighbor's dairy farm and learned skills to expand his own operations.^[1]

Hough graduated from Missouri State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science. He has volunteered for the Greene County and Missouri Cattlemen's Association and currently serves on the Greene County Farm Bureau Board of Directors.^[2]

Political career

In the Missouri Senate, Hough sponsored the 2022 tax cut and pushed to expand infrastructure spending in Parson's plan to expand I-64. He has opposed hardline conservative members, the "Freedom Caucus," in senate proceedings. In 2021, Hough voted to fund voter-approved Medicaid expansion. As appropriations committee chair, Hough set reimbursements for Planned Parenthood to $0 in the 2024 state budget, a move the state supreme court ruled unconstitutional.^[3]

Hough's campaign for lieutenant governor received a total of $120,000 in a single day from PACs managed by former Missouri politician Steven Tilley.^[4]

Personal life

Hough has two sons.^[2]
