Dear Voters of the 23rd District,
Leslie and I want to extend our warmest appreciation
for your confidence by re-electing me as your State Senator.
It has been an honor serving you these past four years and I look
forward to continuing that work.
I know very well that there are many challenges ahead
in formulating policies of state government that will keep us safe,
educate our children and provide an economic climate that allows Missouri
to prosper in to the future. But
these are services that you rightfully expect and it is what I intend to
earnestly work toward.
Whether you voted for me or not, I want you to know
that I welcome all of your ideas and thoughts on how to best shape these
policies. My opponent raised
some issues that I believe are valid and I intend to look into these and
consider the perspective offered. In
other words, I will continue to welcome all opinions and perspectives so
that the best policies can move forward.
The bottom line for me has not changed since I first
ran for office in 1992: continue
to strive to make our community the safest, most prosperous place for our
children to grow up in and raise their families – just like it was when
I was growing up here.
Change is inevitable and as we grow, managing that
change is a greater and greater challenge.
However, I firmly believe that we have talent in abundance to lead
us in that pursuit.
Leslie, Megan, Madelynn and I wish you and all of
your loved ones the safest and happiest of holidays this year. God Bless this state and God Bless America.
