Melanie Stinnett is an American politician serving as a Republican member of the Missouri House of Representatives, representing the state's 133rd House district.[1]
Stinnett is a healthcare executive and speech-language pathologist.[2] She is a disability rights activist.[3]
After Missouri voters voted in 2024 in favor of a constitutional amendment to protect reproductive rights, including the right to abortion, Missouri's Republican lawmakers subsequently sought to continue to block abortion access in the state.[4] Stinnett was part of these efforts, arguing that voters misunderstood what they were voting for.[4] However, the ballot language for Stinnett's proposed counter amendment does not explicitly mention that it would ban abortion.[5]
She is a candidate for State Senate District 30 in 2026.[6]
