Wrap: Southeast Missouri Representative Tony Dugger said his 'biggest accomplishment' was passing the photo-ID requirement for all Missouri voters, which was vetoed by Governor Jay Nixon.

In the veto session on September 14th, Dugger will not be able to vote to override the Governor.

The term-limited Republican's resignation leaves the Missouri House with just five more votes than necessary to override a veto, and was first reported by the Kansas City Star.

Within the past 5 years, Missouri has had its Speaker of the House and Senate President Pro Tem resign to take private political jobs.

Wrap: Republican Representative Tony Dugger resigned nine days before a measure to stop lawmakers from immediately becoming lobbyists went into effect, as first reported by the Kansas City Star.

The photo-ID requirement for all Missouri voters was vetoed by Governor Jay Nixon, and will be voted on again in a special session next week. Dugger will not be voting during the override.

The term-limited representative said he wanted to keep his options open, and has not yet taken a lobbying job.
