Missouri Democratic Party Statement on Tonight’s GOP Debate

Please attribute the following statement to David Turner, spokesman for the Missouri Democratic Party:

“First, let me say thank you to all the Republicans on stage tonight. When it comes to who will be fighting for Missouri’s middle class and working families, there is simply no way I could have drawn a clearer contrast. 

“Every candidate declared they would support lowering wages for every Missourian. Every candidate declared they would rather let other states take Missouri taxpayer’s money than create 24,000 jobs and cover 260,000 Missourians than expand healthcare. No candidate had a solution for Missouri’s crumbling infrastructure.

“Next year, Missourians will have a choice and tonight, Republicans made it clear they would rather fight for far-right ideology rather than what’s best for the state.”
