Stephen "Steve" Stoll (born April 3, 1947) is an American politician from the state of Missouri. He served 12 years in the Missouri General Assembly. Stoll was born in St. Louis and raised in Jefferson County. He attended Catholic Schools in Festus and attended Southeast Missouri State University. In 1970 he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri. He served in the US Army from 1971 to 1973 and graduated from the University of Missouri–St. Louis in 1979 with a Master of Education. Following graduation, he worked as a classroom teacher for nearly 20 years. Stoll's political career began with his election to a part-time position on the Crystal City City Council in 1983. He served on the City Council until his election to the Missouri House of Representatives in 1992. He was re-elected to the Missouri House in 1994 and 1996. In 1998 he was elected to the Missouri State Senate. He was re-elected to his senate seat in 2002. In 2004, Stoll sought election to the US House of Representatives to replace retiring Representative Dick Gephardt. Stoll placed third in a ten candidate Democratic primary election, losing to Russ Carnahan who went on to win the seat in the general election (). In 2005 Stoll retired from his Senate seat and took a position as City Administrator for the city of Festus, Missouri. After serving as city administrator for four years, Stoll was named Director of Administration for Jefferson County, Missouri. The County was beginning the transition from a Commission to a Charter form of government and he became the first director under the Jefferson County Home Rule Charter. In December 2011, Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon appointed Stoll to serve as one of five commissioners on the Missouri Public Service Commission. Because the appointment was made in the interim between legislative sessions, it fell under a 30-day deadline for confirmation when the Senate convened in regular session in January 2012. A second vacancy on the commission resulted in the appointment being delayed when lawmakers expressed their desire to have both positions filled simultaneously. Stoll's appointment was withdrawn and resubmitted by Gov. Nixon after the General Assembly session adjourned in May 2012. On January 24, 2013, Stoll's appointment to the PSC was confirmed by a unanimous vote of the Missouri Senate. Stoll's term on the commission will last until Dec. 13, 2017 or until his successor is named. ==Source== * (Biography from Missouri Senate ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Steve Stoll (politician)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
