Today, Derek Grier, a long-standing community leader and business owner, officially announced his candidacy for Mayor of Chesterfield, Missouri. With a vision to enhance the city’s prosperity, Grier brings a wealth of experience from both local governance and state-level politics.
Join us as we kick off our campaign for Mayor of Chesterfield. Let’s win this thing!
When my family moved here nearly 40 years ago, many of the neighborhoods and development we see today did not exist. Now, it is one of the most vibrant cities in the country. It was through strong leadership and a thoughtful vision the City has grown, and it will be under strong leadership and a thoughtful vision for the future our City will continue to thrive.
As a Councilman (2011-2015) and then as a State Representative (2016-2022), I have worked hard to ensure Chesterfield remains an incredible place to live, work, and play. Together with my wife, Ashley, we are raising our two sons, Jack and Logan, who attend Parkway. We have a personal stake in our community. Ensuring our City makes wise financial decisions, focuses on protecting our citizens, and that we preserve the character of our beautiful neighborhoods is paramount.
My career in business and real estate has given me insights into economic growth but also the practical experience needed to foster it. Ashley and I own a consulting firm and a real estate brokerage with 25 agents, providing me with firsthand knowledge of the economic landscape of Chesterfield.
As your Mayor, I look forward to bringing a new vision for the future of Chesterfield!
As Mayor, Derek will be a champion for our region. He will promote our City by encouraging economic development in the right places, protect our citizens with a strong police force, and preserve its beautiful neighborhoods with thoughtful legislation aimed at improving the quality of life.
Chesterfield is on the cusp of becoming one of the most exceptional cities in the nation. With transformative projects like Gateway Studio’s and the redevelopment of the mall into a vibrant Downtown Chesterfield, our city’s future is brimming with opportunity.
To fully realize this potential, Chesterfield needs a leader who can attract top-tier projects and talented professionals while maintaining the high quality of life we cherish.
Derek supports keeping taxes low for residents and spending money wisely, and in ways that make the most impact on quality of life.
The safety of our streets and neighborhoods is paramount to Chesterfield’s continued success. Residents deserve to feel secure—whether heading to work, shopping for groceries, or enjoying an evening walk.
Derek understands that a strong, engaged, and motivated police force is essential to achieving this goal. As Mayor, he will ensure that law enforcement remains a top priority, with the resources and support needed to protect our community. Chesterfield’s citizens can count on Derek to make their safety a central focus of his leadership.
Many cities sacrifice their unique character to overdevelopment, but Chesterfield can take a different path. Years ago, Louis Sachs envisioned a community built on thoughtful planning and reasonable growth—one that balanced progress without compromising the essence of the city.
Derek believes that Chesterfield can continue to grow steadily and sustainably while preserving the beauty and charm of its neighborhoods. As Mayor, he will ensure that development decisions protect the city’s character, maintain its cleanliness, and enhance the services that support our residents.
Derek Grier will be your advocate—promoting growth, protecting our community, and preserving everything that makes Chesterfield a truly exceptional place to live.
