RELEASE: McCaskill Opens Kansas City Campaign Office at Event with Volunteers and Supporters

Office Will Serve As Hub of McCaskill’s Grassroots Campaign in Support of Missouri’s Middle Class Families

Kansas City, Mo. — Today, Senator Claire McCaskill joined supporters and volunteers at the opening of the Missouri Democratic Party’s Coordinated Campaign office in Kansas City. At the event, Claire thanked the crowd in attendance and delivered brief remarks about the clear choice in this campaign between a Senator who’s on the side of Missouri’s middle class families and three extreme candidates who are beholden to the Washington special interests.

“I know that TV ads won’t elect me and the millions of dollars in outside spending certainly won’t be what decides this race,” said McCaskill. “It’s all of you, here in this room today, when you’re knocking on doors and making phone calls, that will make the difference between now and November. It’s incredible to see so many of people here in Kansas City who are committed to working every day to ensure we win this thing in November.”

Today’s event was Claire’s first 2012 campaign stop in the Kansas City area, and the first local stop for the new McCaskill for Missouri RV, which will criss-cross Missouri over the next six months as Claire takes her message directly to voters.
