Dear G.D. 6 friends- the most important election of our lives (and this time-we mean it!) is only 9 days away. During this time, our recommended candidates and legislative friends are fighting hard to stay in position so that they can continue to fight for public education. Our state recommended candidates are:Govenor- Jay Nixon
Lt. Govenor- Susan Montee
Attorney General- Chris Koster
Secretary of State- Jason Kander-Very important race. This office helps craft the language of ballots placed on voting ballots.
Treasurer- Clint Zweifel
For State Senator in our area: Kurt Schaefer.
For State Representatives in our area:

Proposition B – The Tobacco TaxYES vote recommended.
Proposition E – Healthcare ExchangesNO vote recommended.
Constitutional Amendment 3 – Repeal of Missouri’s Non-Partisan Court PlanNO vote recommended.
The campaigns are calling to ask us to help with phone banking (calling like minded voters to make it to the polls) and door knocking. I've done both, and will do so all this week. Please take the time to help our friends of public education remain in office and or become elected to office. Please help when you receive the call. The race is close in ALL areas. If you have further questions please feel free to contact DeeAnn Aull or Mark Jones at MNEA headquarters (1-800-392-0236). Oh, and don't forget to vote Nov. 6!
The deadline for providing information about your local's activity is Saturday, Nov. 3rd. Newsletter will be emailed out the 5 or 6th of November.
