Hannegan’s campaign treasurer, Scott Mell, confirmed the St. Charles lawmaker died Wednesday of a stroke at age 51.
Voters elected Hannegan to the state House in 2016.
He was one of few openly gay Missouri lawmakers. Hannegan advocated for criminal justice reform and human rights and proposed a ban on discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people.
His treasurer says the community has suffered a great loss. GOP House leaders say he was a strong person of conviction.
Thank you Tom for your service to our great state of Missouri. You will be missed.
