Rep. Steven Roberts of St. Louis - Feelings on Family


Rep. Steven Roberts Jr. of St. Louis was reelected as a member of the Missouri House of Representatives in November 2018 to serve a second two-year term. He represents portions of St. Louis City, ranging from the central corridor east to the riverfront, and he loves his hometown. 


As a fourth-generation native of St. Louis, Mr. Robert says his parents and grandparents fought to overcome segregation and discrimination as they established their successful careers. His mother became a distinguished doctor and his father became a respected attorney, St. Louis Alderman and successful businessman. 

He says that he learned his sense of civic responsibility and social justice from his parents, and he is eternally grateful to them.

“My parents encouraged our individuality, but what I value most is our cohesiveness,” said Rep. Steven Roberts Jr. of St. Louis in a recent interview with Missouri Times Magazine. “We have the usual good-natured and sometimes very real sibling rivalry, but we are always, without fail, there for each other.”
