Heh. A plurality of 24.418% of the vote. How much did that cost Denny Hoskins (r) and his friends?

That’s about $3.00 per vote.

Earlier this week:
Denny Hoskins
[July 9, 2024]Today, I am announcing that I have received the endorsement of Mike Lindell, American businessman and election integrity advocate.
“Missouri voters need a Secretary of State who will stand up and fight when our elections are on the line, and I truly believe that Denny Hoskins is the best candidate for the job. He will stand firm to eliminate fraud and stop any threat – either foreign or domestic – from meddling in elections,” said Mike Lindell.
I am honored to have Mike’s support for my campaign to be Missouri’s next Secretary of State. I believe we need someone in office who will make election integrity the number one priority, rather than bending under pressure from corporate election services providers and special interest groups who want to further weaken our elections. The most secure elections are in-person, on Election Day with a voter ID and no, I don’t trust the election machines. I will fight to maximize accountability and eliminate fraud, and I will not back down when our most fundamental right – the right to vote – is on the line.
Some of the responses:
How much does he charge for an endorsement?
[….] I think, it’s about 2 to 3 grand.
A Secretary of State candidate endorsed by a guy who had to pay $5 million for lying about election fraud inspires zero confidence that Denny Hoskins has any qualifications to supervise elections.
Oh crap – I thought this was an Onion story or something….you actually WANT Lindell’s endorsement?????
lol
Is that guy ever going to show the world all the evidence he’s lied about having for years now?
[….] An endorsement from the My Pillow Guy is great?
Wow! Is this something to really brag about?
Ummm….Mike Lindell is a well known fraudster and conman that owes millions of dollars in unpaid debts. His endorsement is [….].
I already absentee voted against you. Like many Americans, I leave for work before the polls open and don’t get back into town until after they close. Working 40 minutes away makes it tough to leave work to vote. I took my neighbor, a disabled veteran, with me. He doesn’t get around so well but his wife and I found it convenient to get things taken care of this week. You should be working to make it easier for ALL eligible voters to cast secure ballots, not the opposite (just because lower turnout favors your party).
Couldn’t get Rudy Giuliani?
Wanting the endorsement of idiots makes you more of an idiot.
OMG that loser? Hope you aren’t expecting donations from him. He’s broke as a joke!

Missouri GOP officials delete posts falsely tying KC shooting to illegal immigration
Candidates for statewide office mum on retraction of false claims
By Joe McLean (KCTV5)
Published: Feb. 19, 2024 at 10:27 AM CSTKANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) – Following the mass shooting in Kansas City that left one dead and 22 other injured, unfounded reports began circulating on social media, and were boosted by prominent elected officials, that the shooting was perpetrated by an undocumented immigrant.
One such post was made by state Sen Denny Hoskins, R-Warrensburg, who is running for Secretary of State.
“I’d hope this first-hand experience with violent illegal immigrants & repeat violent offenders–children shot at a parade–will help them see the urgent need to close our borders, stop promoting Sanctuary Cities to violent illegal immigrants & end liberal catch & release policies for violent criminals,” Hoskins posted on X, formerly known as Twitter….

Hoskins later deleted the post and did not response to questions….

Spin, via email addressed to constituents, from Denny Hoskins (r):
Greetings! Adversity comes before every great victory, and that is never truer than as someone working within the Missouri Senate.
This week I was met with bitter news. I was unexpectedly removed as the Chair for the Committee on Economic Development and Tax Policy during a press conference held on Jan. 23, 2024. I was also removed from the Appropriations Committee. From what I understand this was not due to a failure to fulfill my duties as a chair or committee member. Rather, it seems to relate to the use of certain strategies used on the Senate Floor to pass initiative petition (IP) reform. It also comes after I voted alone against Senate Bill 748, which extends Missouri’s law relating to the federal reimbursement allowance (FRA).
Removing a senator from their position as chair hasn’t occurred during session in over a decade, and it is completely unheard of in our Senate’s history for a group of senators to lose their positions as committee chairs all at once. In a more comical development, they also moved my parking spot further away. I’ve heard leadership discussed removing my office furniture as well. Unfortunately, you can’t make this stuff up folks.
On top of that, these decisions were made without any attempts to compromise or discuss solutions directly with me, and I can’t help but feel it is a punitive action meant to try and silence me as I work to bring my conservative ideals, and the ideals of my constituents, to the forefront of the discussion on the Senate Floor.
Despite this, I will remain steadfast in pushing for the immediate discussion and passing of IP reform on the Senate floor. IP reform is a priority of conservatives throughout the state and I will do everything in my power to make sure it is a priority here in the Senate Chamber. We cannot wait until the last day of session to pass IP reform like we have previously.
I hope to open negotiations with my colleagues to help us all move forward in our work.
[….]
“…certain strategies…”
Translation: “reactionary obstruction”
“…In a more comical development, they also moved my parking spot further away. I’ve heard leadership discussed removing my office furniture as well. Unfortunately, you can’t make this stuff up folks….”
This is done all the time in Jefferson City.
The cult of the victim.
Sure. The goal of curtailing and effectively eliminating initiative petitions for Missouri citizens by using obstructionist tactics is just so democratic. The irony escapes Denny Hoskins (r).
“…I hope to open negotiations with my colleagues to help us all move forward in our work…”
Sure. The republicans have controlled the General Assembly for over twenty years. What gives anyone the impression that they’ll change the way they do business any time soon, if ever?
What a clown show.

What republican majority control of the General Assembly for twenty years gets Missouri:
Caleb Rowden (r) [2016 file photo].
This past week in the Missouri Senate:
[….]
[Caleb] Rowden [r], who must leave the Senate after this year due to term limits, is seeking the GOP nomination for secretary of state in this year’s election. One of the Republicans he’s facing off with in the primary is a Freedom Caucus member — Sen. Denny Hoskins [r] of Warrensburg.
This year, six members who call themselves the Freedom Caucus have taken intra-party warfare to a new level under the direction of Eigel, who wants to be the Republican nominee for governor. Caucus members are filibustering confirmation of Gov. Mike Parson’s appointees until the Senate approves a bill making it harder to pass constitutional amendments by initiative petition.
In retaliation, Rowden on Tuesday removed four members of the Freedom Caucus from committee chairmanships. The removals were retaliation for the caucus stall tactics and Rowden called them “a small group of swamp creatures.”
After their ouster from committee seats, members of the Freedom Caucus poured out their stored-up grievances on the Senate floor for four hours. A Wednesday cease-fire allowed Parson to deliver his annual State of the State address to a joint legislative session, but the roar of battle returned with a vengeance on Thursday.

Denny Hoskins (r).
Last night on social media:
Denny Hoskins
Despite the 90+ degree temperatures, these God loving patriots are standing up to protect kids from “family friendly” drag shows in Warrensburg. I stopped by to hand-deliver some water/Gatorade and personally thank each one of them for staying true to their conservative beliefs and fighting the good fight. Drag shows are not for innocent kids and I am glad to stand alongside these good folks who are trying to protect our children.
[….]
They didn’t have enough sense to bring their own water? Just asking.
By the way, where was your fellow letter writer Rick Brattin (r)?:
…Not only will I have your back, but I am willing to stand alongside you as you protect our community…
Just not in 90° temperatures and high humidity, apparently.
A people loving patriot across the street:
“Those who abide in Love abide in God”
…Running for something?
Interestingly, Denny Hoskins (r) worked the folks with the intolerant signs, walked across the street and shook the Warrensburg Police officers’ hands, but he didn’t bother to go into the venue to greet his constituents attending the Pride Festival.
Why, yes!:

Some of the responses:
Standing up ??? They are protesting other citizens rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?
Imposing their judgment for the judgment of the actual parents of the under 18 attending.
BTW no laws broken. Besides parents, mandatory child abuse and Law Enforcement present to observe. So again no laws were broken.
Your constituents were also inside the venue. Why didn’t you speak to us inside?
What is wrong with drag shows? They are not sexual. People are wearing costumes and acting for entertainment.
A big thank you to Denny Hoskins for showing your support and big thanks to everyone that braved the heat to try and keep the children of our community from being exposed to these highly inappropriate performances.
What is inappropriate about it?
I can’t believe there is anyone left that you need to convince of your Homophobia with a Facebook post. You are a disgrace to the office. Hate is nothing to be proud of. The majority of your constituents don’t agree with this and you know it. Your constituents were inside as well but you hate them. It’s disgusting how you flaunt and show off your hate. Zealots aren’t supposed to hold office.
Just enough expedient bluster to repeat unfounded accusations, but not enough moral compass and courage to walk a hundred feet further and through a door to see for himself.
Some (former) constituents are more equal than others, eh?
