Press Release: Dr. Sam Alexander Officially Announces His Candidacy for Missouri State Senate, District 28
By Press Release on May 7, 2025

Fair Play, MO — Dr. Sam Alexander has officially announced his candidacy for the Missouri State Senate in District 28. Dr. Alexander aims to replace term-limited Senator Sandy Crawford. The district covers Benton, Cedar, Dallas, Henry, Hickory, Pettis, Polk, St. Clair, and Vernon Counties.

“I am the true conservative Republican in this race, and I am running to defend the freedoms of Senate District 28,” said Dr. Alexander. “As a physician, I saw the injustices of COVID up close. I will fight tooth and nail to make sure that never happens again. I will fight to protect life, uphold the Second Amendment, secure our elections, oppose woke ideology, and ensure Missouri farmland stays in American hands.”
[….]

“…secure our elections…”

Uh, republicans have been in control of the Missouri General Assembly for over twenty years. They control all statewide offices, two U.S. Senate seats, and six of eight congressional seats. Are you telling us that’s questionable? Just asking.

“…oppose woke ideology…”

Did a teenage intern write this one? If not, it would be helpful if woke ideology was defined.

“…ensure Missouri farmland stays in American hands…”

Too late. You might want to ask Eric Schmitt (r) about that one.

The 28th Senate District: overkill for the general election!
