[applause] Thanks so much. I’d like to thank my lovely wife who did so much preparation for this, too…
…This is, you hear it every election cycle it seems, that this is one of the most important elections in your lives. Well, by golly, this is one of the most important elections of your lives…
…There is so much going on at every different level…from the county level, the state level, the national level, we have so many different changes that might come about this year. Change is the big word. And I really think we’re going to see a lot of changes.
And from what’s been going on in the stock market, what’s been going on in our economy, we certainly need some changes here. So, I’m out to help make some changes for the State of Missouri…
We’ve got twenty three days…and a couple hours [laughter] left, so…with your help we can win this election…
We need some good people…in Jefferson City to represent our area well…We’ve got so much going on, so many needs for education, we’ve got so many needs for health care, we’ve certainly got so many needs for the economic environment that we’re in today.
I would like to take my small business experience, my community service experience, and continue that in Jefferson City…
I am excited about this race, we can do it…with your help. Thank you for coming. Do go out and vote on November the 4th…
Enjoy yourselves, have a good time [here], and remember to vote on November the 4th. Thanks again for coming [applause]
