Lincoln Hough[pronunciation?] (born June 17, 1982) is an American politician. He was first elected to the Missouri House of Representatives in 2010, where he served three terms. He served as Greene County Commissioner from 2016 to 2018. In November 2018, he was elected to represent the 30th District, which includes the City of Springfield in Greene County, in the Missouri Senate.

Senator Hough graduated from Missouri State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science. A first generation rancher, he has solely owned and operated his cattle ranch since middle school. Senator Hough has volunteered for the Greene County and Missouri Cattlemen's Association and currently serves on the Greene County Farm Bureau Board of Directors.

Senator Hough is a dedicated advocate for his constituents. He successfully sponsored legislation to enact the largest tax cut in state history, led the appropriations committee in their investment in critical infrastructure and carried legislation to provide mental health resources to first responders.

The most important job he has is being the father to his two sons. The boys are his pride and joy, bringing energy after a long day on the ranch; or preparing the future budget of the state. He will commonly say that the time he spends with his boys outweighs all the awards or honors he could ever be given.[1]
