On Friday the West Plains Daily Quill newspaper opinion page enthusiastically endorsed Tommy Sowers. Contrasting Tommy Sowers and Jo Ann Emerson, the endorsement states:
“Tommy Sowers of Rolla is young, bright, energetic, thoughtful, a constitutional scholar, a teacher, a former Green Beret - and has no Washington baggage to impede making good decisions for the right reasons.
“…we live in troubled times in a troubled nation. We need someone who will put our nation first. Emerson seems to think that what is good for her is good for the nation. We need someone who believes what is good for the nation is good for him… Vote for Tommy Sowers.”
Tommy Sowers commented on the endorsement:
“I am honored to receive the endorsement of the West Plains Daily Quill. It is recognition that folks are eager to send new blood to Washington. They understand that we’ve got a better choice than to send back a 14-year incumbent who would rather bailout Wall Street and call it leadership than accept responsibility for her record of bad trade deals that have shipped 16,000 of our jobs overseas.
“Congresswoman Emerson hasn’t been a leader for us, and her legislative record shows that. She voted for the flawed trade deals. She voted for the bailout and she’s sponsoring another bailout. She has no major legislative accomplishments. We should expect more from our leaders. I will be a voice for the people, fighting every day to bring back jobs and secure a better future for our home.”
