MAJORITY OF ERIC GREITENS’ CAMPAIGN FUNDED OUTSIDE MISSOURI

Burlison, a state senator, won with his message of bringing Christian conservatism and “America First” policy to Washington, D.C. In the solidly Republican district, he will likely skate to victory in November to fill the office left open when Rep. Billy Long decided to run for Missouri’s open Senate seat.

“I am blessed to have been the leading voice for conservative Missourians in both the State House and the State Senate,” Burlison said on his campaign website. “I’m proud of my conservative achievements and enjoy fighting every day for Missourians’ liberties and freedoms. Now, with radical Democrats in power in Washington D.C. attempting to destroy what made our country great, I am ready to take my proven conservative leadership to Congress to stand up for our southwest Missouri values.”
