Cheri Toalson Reisch

Cheri Toalson Reisch is an American politician who sits in the Missouri House of Representatives representing District 44. Reisch is a member of the Republican Party. She is the sixth-generation of her family to live in Boone County, Missouri, her ancestors having settled in the county in the 1810s.

Reisch was being sued for blocking a constituent on Twitter as of 11 December 2018. In June 2018, Reisch tweeted that it was "sad to see" her 2018 election opponent, veterinarian Maren Bell Jones, put her hands behind her back during the Pledge of Allegiance at a Boone County Farm Bureau event that both candidates attended. The constituent was then blocked on Twitter after he retweeted a post by State Representative Kip Kendrick, D-Columbia, that criticized Reisch's statement.

In August 2022, Reisch falsely claimed on Facebook that students at Columbia Public Schools dressed as animals were using litterboxes as bathrooms. She reiterated the false claim two days later during an event with governor Mike Parson; when asked for evidence, she refused, claiming a need to protect "confidential sources".
