Release: Otto Meets with International Debate Observers

(Maryland Heights, MO) Today congressional candidate Bill Otto met with a group U.S. State Department guests visiting from Germany in town to see the presidential debate last night. Bill Otto, a Missouri native, U.S. Navy veteran, husband, father, grandfather and two term Missouri state representative spent about 2 hours with this group earlier today and called the international meeting “a huge success.” “It was truly remarkable. I believe as Americans any opportunity we have to discuss our democratic process is important. I was incredibly impressed by the preparation of these guests from Germany and their attention during the debate and very enlightened questions afterwards,” Otto said. “I was certainly very happy to talk about the value of knocking on doors in Missouri so we can talk directly to hard-working families and small business owners – a practice not done in Germany. I am always grateful for my ongoing education about the cultures and electoral practices of our allies, and we had a very intense conversation about Congresswoman Ann Wagner’s long-time endorsement of Donald Trump. They seemed very surprised by that.” Bill Otto is a Missouri native and a Navy veteran who believes it has been way too long since Congress did what the American people actually want or need. He is a proud husband, father, and grandfather of five. His wife, Kathy, and he live in Maryland Heights and have been married 21 years, raising six kids – three sons and three daughters. He is also a two term State Representative representing parts of St. Louis County and St. Charles County. Prior to being a legislator,  Bill was honored to have served three terms on the Bridgeton City Council. He is incredibly proud to be called a champion for Missouri’s blue-collar values and when not working in the district or spending time with his family he can most often be found watching a Cardinals game, listening to his vinyl collection, or strumming his guitar.
