Hulshof and chamber President and CEO Dan Mehan will discuss the chamber political action committee’s endorsement at 3 p.m. at Loren Cook Co., 2015 E. Dale St. The stop is part of Hulshof’s press tour this week that began in St. Louis Monday and continues with announcements in Jefferson City this morning and Kansas City Wednesday morning.
“With the nation currently weathering a difficult economy, Missouri needs a governor who recognizes that a thriving business community is the starting point to the state’s overall success,” Mehan said in a news release. “As a farmer and a small-businessman, Kenny Hulshof intimately understands the challenges that companies are facing today.”
The Missouri Democratic Party issued the following statement today in response to the chamber’s endorsement:
“The economic policies of George Bush and Matt Blunt, which Congressman Hulshof supports, have left Missouri’s families worried about their jobs and unable to pay for gas and health care,” said party Executive Director Ken Franklin. “Embracing the economic agendas of Bush and Blunt may help Congressman Hulshof appeal to certain interest groups, but those policies are hurting Missouri families.”
