JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – A Missouri bill calls for naming parts of highways after Donald Trump in all but four counties, specifically the counties where he did not get a majority vote in the last presidential election.

Missouri State Sen. Mary Elizabeth Coleman (R-Jefferson County) introduced SB 321 for the ongoing legislative session, pushing for the change to take effect by Aug. 29, 2025.

The bill proposes naming “any portion of highway that is part of the state highway system” as “Donald J. Trump Highway,” provided that it was not already designated to another individual or cause.

According to the bill, this change would not apply to Boone County, Jackson County, St. Louis County, or St. Louis City. Though a reason for this is not explicitly stated in the bill, these four voting jurisdictions backed Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris over Trump in the November 2024 election. Trump won Missouri with 58.5% of support.

The bill adds that the Missouri Department of Transportation would erect and maintain signs that designate highways after Trump with private donations covering costs.

Based on the bill’s language, it appears only highways without an existing designation would be eligible for the proposed change.

MoDOT’s current guidelines allow highway designations in honor of “an event, place, organization, or an individual who has been deceased for two years or more.” It’s unclear whether an exception would be made for Trump, who began his second U.S. presidential term on Jan. 20.

The bill had one Senate reading on Jan. 8, but is not currently scheduled for further action, according to the online Senate bill’s tracker. FOX 2 has reached out to Coleman’s office for comment on the legislation, but we have not received a response at the time of this publication.
