Vicky Hartzler in the House

Perhaps one of the most impressive victories in the November 2010 election was when Vicky Hartzler unseated Ike Skelton, a 17-term congressman and then chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, in Missouri’s Fourth Congressional District.

“I didn’t ever really expect to run for Congress,” Hartzler says. “But after the 2008 election and the very fast demise of our country at the hands of the President Obama-Nancy Pelosi-Harry Reid team, it was time to talk again and to try to take back our country.”
