For Rep. Keri Ingle, energy policy is deeply personal.

Before her election to the Missouri House of Representatives in 2018, Ingle built her career as a licensed master social worker, helping children, families and medically vulnerable people navigate some of life’s hardest challenges, an experience she said continues to shape her work in public office. Now representing the 35th District in the Missouri House, which includes parts of Lee’s Summit and southern Kansas City, she serves as ranking member of the House Utilities committee, where she’s become a strong voice for balancing energy reliability, affordability and innovation.
