There is no doubt that the Missouri Senate, specifically Missouri's Republican Senators, are at war. It's quite a tale to tell and the current primary campaign season has added another ring under the Senate Circus tent. We are down to 26 days to the primary and things are heating up here in the Show Me State.
There's so much campaign clowning around and illusion performances going on it's hard to tell what is real and what isn't, but make no mistake this is not fun and games.
I've been inside the Capitol for two sessions now, tracking legislation, votes and keeping tabs on conservative issues. I've gotten to know leaders of grassroots organizations around the state as well as legislators in both chambers. Although every issue has multiple sides, in most cases this really isn't rocket science. Either our Republican legislators are consistently voting according to the platform they ran on - or they aren't.
The Republican Primary on August 2nd is THE place where we let the politicians and the GOP know what we think!
From now until then, I hope to share some information on a few of these elections before you go to the polls. Be sure to follow and forward to your friends across Missouri!!
Every even numbered MO Senate District is up for re-election this year. The maps did change, so it's likely your district is a little or a lot different than it has been before. Here's the new map.
Find your county on the map then zoom in to see the district number. If you live in an even numbered district, you NEED to VOTE AUGUST 2ND!!
If you're not interested in the inside scoop but want to cut to the chase of who is a RINO and who isn't, here ya go.
My personal endorsements are in red. I believe these to be true conservative choices who have already upheld the Republican platform with their votes as an elected official or they have pledged to do so.
If I could vote in all these races, the names in red are who I would choose.
