Rob Schaaf is running for State Senator for the 34th District (up here in NW Missouri). He has been our state Representative for the past several years and has definitely established his conservative credentials. He is a doctor, and firmly believes in the free market way of doing things.
He is running against Martin Rucker, another state Representative whose main claim to fame is that his sons played football (really well) for one of our local high schools and the University of Missouri. I honestly don’t know anything he’s done at the state level, but as a current member of the local school board, he’s a textbook liberal who believes spending public money is the answer to everything.
I am not a member of Dr. Schaaf’s campaign, but sending him to the state senate to replace a retiring democrat would help maintain Missouri’s conservative state legislature.
Just noticed your post. I suspect there’s a good chance Rolla won’t work for you. How about Jeff City or Columbia?
