Friends,

Tuesday’s result was not what we were expecting. With polls showing us tied going into the final weekend, and the response we’ve been getting traveling to all 114 counties, we had high hopes. At the end of the day, however, it is hard to prevail when you are outspent 3-1.

I am proud of the campaign we ran, focused on a positive agenda to move Missouri forward, and a commitment to conservative leadership.

We want to thank all the tireless volunteers and supporters from throughout Missouri who worked their hearts out for us, and who we know share in our disappointment.

While the primary is over, the election is not. Republicans need to come together and focus on November and do whatever it takes to elect Mike Kehoe and to ensure his success as our next Governor.

We know God has a plan and anxious to see what He has in store. Thank you for your friendship, and God Bless.
