Let’s talk about my opponent, Representative Jason Smith.
In one of his more recent taxpayer-funded newsletters he says, “[The rise in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program applicants] has continued even as the economy experiences record growth… This is why I fought to include legislation in last year’s Farm Bill requiring work requirements for able-bodied SNAP recipients.”
If you drive around Missouri’s 8th District, it is clear that the economy is not experiencing “record growth” but rather, record decline:
I’m running for Congress to give the people in my District a fighting chance - because my neighbors can’t wait any longer, and because my friends are dying from poverty, lack of healthcare, and racial inequality.
We have to do something different.
I need your help to fight back against this kind of dangerous thinking. Our campaign relies on small dollar donors to fuel our work, and we’re up against groups like ExxonMobil, Koch Industries, the NRA, and UnitedHealth who fund my opponent’s campaign and simultaneously destroy our hometowns.
If you’re ready for change, I’m asking you to consider making a contribution today to keep our work going. Together, we can make a Missouri that works for all of us - not just the wealthy and corporations.

P.S. If you can’t make a contribution today, would you consider signing up to volunteer with our campaign? We’ll need all hands on deck to flip this District.
