100 Days Remaining

Hi Everybody!

It is hard to believe that I've been campaigning for four months. On one hand, it feels like there's no way it could be that long; on the other, it feels as though I've been campaigning for this seat my entire life.

Forgive me for being just a little sentimental today. Every part of running this campaign really is an honor (well, maybe I could have done without some of the nasty blog postings...).

It is amazing to meet my neighbors across Columbia and talk with them about important issues. This happens every day, often on people's front door steps. Let me assure you, if you are standing at someone's front door and they are in the mood to talk, there is absolutely nothing they won't say. I've had people tell me about their health problems; about lost jobs; one woman told me about her daughter dying after losing her Medicaid coverage; and another told me about lead poisoning her entire family is suffering and her resulting concerns about environmental safety regulations.

Mostly, though, I've heard reasons for optimism -- stories about hopes and joys and all of the things that make Missouri great.

Just 100 days remain in the primary campaign. I can't wait to see what they have in store.
