Race for St. Louis County Executive: The Citizens Agenda

Nine PBS and St. Louis Magazine are partnering to cover the 2026 St. Louis County Executive race, powered by the voices of voters in St. Louis County and residents across the region. With support from the St. Louis County Library, this collaboration uses The Citizen’s Agenda, a guide designed to foster more responsive, inclusive, and useful election coverage. Reporting on this important race will be shaped by direct engagement with the people and organizations who live and work in St. Louis County. Our coverage—and the questions we pose to candidates—will elevate and deepen understanding of the issues that matter most to the communities they serve.
