Sam Page Indicted by Grand Jury

ST. LOUIS COUNTY, MISSOURI, JUL 30 – Sam Page faces two misdemeanor and two felony charges for allegedly spending over $35,000 in county funds on political mailers opposing Proposition B, officials said.

  • On July 30, 2025, a grand jury charged St. Louis County’s chief executive, Sam Page, with multiple offenses involving the improper use of public funds related to Proposition B in Missouri.
  • The indictment results from an inquiry led by Attorney General Andrew Bailey's office concerning allegations that more than $35,000 of county money was improperly spent to create and distribute upwards of 50,000 political flyers opposing Proposition B ahead of the April 8 election.
  • Page has been indicted on two felony charges involving theft through deceit and two misdemeanor election law violations related to his campaign activities; he has retained a private attorney and is cooperating with the investigation.
  • Bailey emphasized that the Missouri Constitution prohibits the use of government funds for election-related activities, underscoring the need for accountability, while more than 60% of voters opposed Proposition B.
  • The indictment could lead to a combined sentence of up to 13 years and fines up to $24,000, raising questions about Page's capacity to govern amid calls for his resignation and a scheduled arraignment on August 29.
