Incumbent Kimberly Gardner defeated Mary Pat Carl in the Democratic primary for circuit attorney in St. Louis, Missouri, on August 4, 2020. Gardner received 61% of the vote to Carl's 39%.

The race was a rematch. Gardner and Carl ran in the four-candidate Democratic primary in 2016, where Gardner received 47% of the vote and Carl was second with 24%.[2]

Gardner said her successes included implementing prosecutor-led diversion, directing resources to public safety and harm reduction, and steering the office away from a tough-on-crime mentality. She said there was a less than 1% recidivism rate under the city's diversion program.[3]

Carl emphasized her background as a homicide attorney and prosecutor. She said she would do more than Gardner had to prevent gun violence and direct people to diversion programs.[4] Carl criticized Gardner's relationship with police, saying, "I think you can hold the police accountable without going to war with the police."[5] Carl said she was highly regarded by law enforcement.

Rachel M. Cohen of The Appeal wrote the following:

“

[L]ocal activists view this race as a referendum on the fierce pushback that Gardner has faced since she took office. The primary, which will most likely decide the election in this Democratic city, may be an early window into whether this sort of pushback will prove successful in other jurisdictions where reform-minded prosecutors soon face re-election.[5][6]

”

Gardner indicted former Gov. Eric Greitens (R) in 2018 for allegedly tampering with computer data. In January 2020, she sued the city, the police union, and others, alleging a racially-motivated conspiracy to thwart her policy efforts.[7] In July 2020, Gardner filed felony charges against Mark and Patricia McCloskey, a white couple who held guns in their yard as Black Lives Matter protesters marched by.[8]

The St. Louis Police Officers Association, which endorsed Carl in 2016, did not endorse in the 2020 primary. Jeff Roorda, the union's spokesperson, said, "Kim Gardner has proven herself unfit for public office."[5] The St. Louis American and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) were among Gardner's endorsers. Carl's endorsers included the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and the Democratic organizations of several wards.

Candidate profiles

This section includes candidate profiles created in one of two ways.

Mary Pat Carl

Image of Mary Pat Carl

WebsiteFacebookTwitter

Party: Democratic Party

Incumbent: No

Political Office: None

Biography:  Carl received a B.A. from DePaul University and a J.D. from Washington University School of Law in St. Louis. She was an assistant circuit attorney for the City of St. Louis. As of her 2020 campaign, she was a partner at Husch Blackwell.


Key Messages

The following key messages were curated by Ballotpedia staff. For more on how we identify key messages, click here.

Carl's campaign website said, "Mary Pat Carl was St. Louis’ lead homicide attorney and a prosecutor for 15 years. She’s respected by her colleagues, valued in our community, and highly regarded by law enforcement. She is who we as St. Louisians trust as our voice in the courtroom to fight domestic violence, child abuse, and violent crime. She’s worked thousands of cases. And she wins."   

Carl's campaign website said, "Mary Pat is focused on being 'smart on crime'. As a prosecutor, she’ll work hard to steer non-violent offenders to alternatives to incarceration that provide job training and educational opportunities, and she'll make sure violent criminals are held responsible. She’ll also hold police officers to the highest standards when enforcing the law. To Mary Pat, justice is not simply punishing those who commit crime, but engaging communities to define accountability and working with both those accused and victims to heal. She believes community partnerships will help to build a safer St. Louis."

Kimberly Gardner

Party: Democratic Party

Incumbent: Yes

Political Office: 

Biography:  Gardner received an undergraduate degree from Harris-Stowe State University and a law degree from St. Louis University. She worked for Bell, Kirksey & Associates before serving as an assistant circuit attorney. She returned to St. Louis University for a master's degree in nursing before being elected to the state House.


Key Messages

The following key messages were curated by Ballotpedia staff. For more on how we identify key messages, click here.

"Throughout my first term, I fought to transform the justice system in Saint Louis City to make it fair for everyone, regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation. I have developed innovative policies to address the root causes of crime in Saint Louis while laying the groundwork to bring about its long-term reduction. This has not been an easy process, and many adherents to the old order I inherited tried to get in our way. But we’ve accomplished so much already, and I remain as committed today as I was when I took office nearly four years ago."

Gardner's campaign website said, "In 2017, Kim took over an office primarily focused on charges, cases, and convictions. It was an office that adhered to the 'tough-on-crime' mantra, which led to skyrocketing incarceration but not to any crime reduction. Through vision, hard work, and grit, Kim has transformed that office into one that is focused on community well-being and treats everyone with dignity."

• St. Louis, Missouri, Proposition 1, Remove City Residency Requirement for Employees Except Mayor-Appointed Directors Charter Amendment (November 2020):  ✖

A "yes" vote supported amending the city charter to allow city employees besides agency and department directors appointed by the mayor to reside outside of the city limits instead of requiring all city employees to reside within city limits.

A "yes" vote supported:
