Claire in Springfield

I had the honor to work some phones for Claire today. Tomorrow is the big day. Everybody I called today was a supporter, which was great to hear.

Media Event - Support for Claire

Yesterday, I joined several retired teachers and UD, Sharon Swanson, at a Claire McCaskill media event next to Parkview High School in Springfield. You never know what you'll get at these events, but two radio stations and one TV station showed up - and the public radio piece aired on KSMU just as teachers were on their way to school this morning, which was great timing.

We tried to focus our remarks on Claire's support (and Akin's opposition) for the federal school lunch program. Springfield has a 53% free & reduced student population, up 15% over the past ten years.

Claire is in town today, and I'll be attending that event at noon. It's the stretch run, and we have to do all we can to support great candidates like Claire.

Here are links to a couple of stories from yesterday's event:
