Springfield/Greene County is Missouri's fastest growing metro area

 
And that might be good news for Democrats.  

Greene County has voted Republican just once since 1948, but in 2020 Joe Biden cut Trump's margin of victory from 27.1  to 20.1 percentage points.  Hey, ya gotta start somewhere.

3rd-party candidates received 17.1% of vote in 1992, 
10% of vote in 1996, 7.5% in 2016;
(Alabama segregationist George Wallace received 
11.5% of the vote in 1968)
Springfield added nearly 15,000 residents to its population between 2020 and 2023, census data shows. The 3.08% increase was the largest of the metro areas in the state. With a population of nearly half a million people in 2023, Springfield is the third-largest metro area in the state.
