If you’re getting annoyed with all the talk of Twitter, move along to the next post.

But in Jake Wagman’s last post about Twitter, a commenter asked which legislators have Twitter accounts. Below is a list, although probably not comprehensive, of the Missouri public officials I have found on Twitter; if you know of others, leave a link in the comments so I can add it to the list.

UPDATE: Thanks to all those who gave me more names!

Following Jeff Smith is very insightful. Twitter is a hilarious tool.

Didn’t Adrienne Marsh leave McCaskill’s office several months ago?

Rep. Rebecca McClanahan — Good mix of legislative news and stuff from when she’s off the clock.

A new entry is Rep. Ryan Silvey from KC at http://www.twitter.com/ryansilvey

He was very active during the Budget debate on the House floor.
