Since 2016 Crystal Quade, a Democrat, has represented part of Greene County (District 132) in the Missouri House of Representatives and is the House Minority Leader.

And the ongoing controversy over the legality of so-called “no chance” gaming machines that the city of Springfield has become involved in is now something she thinks the legislature should be involved in as well.

“I have been contacted for quite some time by constituents all across the state about these slot machines,” she said. ”No matter where you go, whether it’s a gas station or walking through your neighborhood, they are everywhere… Unregulated slot machines are not going away and it’s past time for the legislature to act.”
