Getting To Know... Speaker of the House - Steve Tilley
State Representative Steve Tilley (District 106) represents part of Perry, St. Francois and St. Genevieve counties. He was elected to the House in 2004, and in 2009, he was elected Majority Floor Leader of the House of Representatives for the 94th Legislative Session. In 2011, he was elected Speaker of the House for the 96th Legislative Session.
The Speaker of the House is arguably the most important position in the Missouri House of Representatives. He is voted into the position by the all the House members, but usually, the position of Speaker is decided upon by the majority party in a secret vote prior to the formal election. The Speaker of the House decides when the bills are allowed to be heard in committees and in which committee they will be heard. If approved in committee, he then decides if that bill will be placed on the House Calendar to be heard on the House Floor. There are other specific things he is responsible for, but needless to say, Speaker of the House is a very powerful position.
Representative Tilley is an Optometrist and is a member of the Perryville Optimist Club, Missouri Right to Life, National Rifle Association, Missouri Optometric Association, American Optometric Association, N.F.I.B., the Missouri Chamber of Commerce, Perryville Elks Lodge, and is also a CHAMPS mentor.
A 1989 Missouri graduate of Perryville High School, Representative Tilley received his Bachelor of Science from Southeast Missouri State University in 1994 and his Doctorate of Optometry from the University of Missouri-St. Louis School of Optometry in 1998. He was born on June 11, 1971, in Wiesbaden, West Germany. The Speaker of the House currently lives in Perryville with his wife Kellie and two children Kourtney and Korrin. He and his family attend Immanuel Lutheran Church of Perryville.
I have had the opportunity to get to know the Speaker and respect his leadership skills and efforts on behalf of the state.
