Other facts
This election gives Missourians a clear choice between my record of working hard for middle class families at the table of compromise and common sense, and my opponents who want to privatize Social Security and Medicare, get rid of affordable student loans, and give more tax breaks to mega-millionaires and big corporations. I'll protect tax cuts for middle class families and small businesses while working hard to find compromise and bipartisan agreement to invest in roads and bridges, get serious about the deficit, and cut through red tape and regulations so Missouri businesses can add new jobs to our economy. While I am in the Senate, Missourians can be assured that they have a senator on their side in Washington.
