Park Hills, Mo. (KFMO) - Two southeast Missouri brothers have officially filed to run for the Missouri House of Representatives, a move that could make state history if both are elected.
Lucas Green of Jackson has filed as a candidate in District 146, which includes parts of Cape Girardeau County. Jason Green of Fredericktown has filed in District 116, serving Madison and St. Francois counties. If voters send both men to Jefferson City, they would likely become the first brothers to serve simultaneously in the Missouri House.
The Green brothers were raised in a fourth-generation retail business family in rural Missouri and say their campaigns are grounded in faith, family, and conservative leadership.
Jason Green manages Green’s Flea Market in Madison County, one of the family’s long-standing local businesses. He is currently serving his second term as Presiding Commissioner of Madison County, where he says his focus has been responsible budgeting, infrastructure improvements, and keeping taxes low.
“My time as Presiding Commissioner taught me that local government works best when it lives within its means and listens to its people,” Jason said. “Rural Missouri needs steady, conservative leadership that understands agriculture, small business, and the challenges our counties face every day.”
Lucas Green is an Iraq War veteran who served 11 years in the Army National Guard. He currently owns and operates Sikeston Trade Fair and co-owns Green’s of Fruitland with his brother. He previously spent 15 years in technology development and management, serving clients including the U.S. Marine Corps and Department of Defense before returning to the family’s retail businesses.
“Our family believes deeply in service,” Lucas said. “Whether in uniform, in business, or in public office, we were raised to step up. Missouri needs representatives who will defend life, protect constitutional freedoms, and fight to keep opportunity alive in rural communities.”
Though they are running in separate districts, the brothers acknowledge the uniqueness of their simultaneous campaigns.
“We already work side by side,” Jason said. “From stocking shelves to managing stores to serving in government, we’ve always believed that leadership starts with showing up and doing the work.”
Both candidates emphasize conservative priorities including protecting the unborn, defending Second Amendment rights, supporting law enforcement, strengthening rural infrastructure, expanding economic opportunity, and holding government accountable to taxpayers.
The brothers say their shared upbringing in Crump helped shape their approach to leadership.
“In small towns, your word matters,” Lucas added. “People know your family. They know your work ethic. That’s the standard we carry with us.”
Voters in Districts 116 and 146 will have opportunities to meet the candidates at community events throughout the campaign season.
For the Green brothers, the moment represents more than a political milestone, it reflects a family legacy of service, business leadership, and commitment to rural Missouri values.
“If voters choose to send us to Jefferson City,” Lucas said, “it will be an honor to serve, not just as brothers, but as representatives of the communities that raised us.”
