Too Little too Late for MO Democrats

The Missouri Republican Party released this statement today in response to the Missouri Democrat Party’s attempt to use political maneuvers to appeal to Missouri farmers and ranchers:

“The Missouri Republican Party has been a long-time defender and friend to our state’s agricultural community – in fact I am a member of that community and we can always rely on Republican leaders to fight for us,” said Todd Graves, Chairman of the Missouri Republican Party. “Unlike the Democrats, we don’t need an unveiling of what we are doing for Missouri agriculture – voters already understand it and have for many years.  Our farmers and ranchers are a large part of what makes our state great, and that community will continue to find an ally in the Missouri Republican Party.”

Sam Cooper, Executive Director of the Missouri Republican Party added:

“After losing rural Missouri by historic margins in 2016, it’s comical that the Missouri Democrat Party now thinks a press release and press conference in Jefferson City makes them the party of farmers,” said Sam Cooper, Executive Director of the Missouri Republican Party. “The Missouri Republican Party always has and always will stand with Missouri farmers and rural Missourians – not just when it’s politically convenient.“
