Having been involved as a community activist since 2010, I have long worked for positive change in the 76th District. My family and I now feel that the time has come for me to seek elected office. I want to bring fresh ideas and positive solutions to the Missouri State House by running for State Representative of the 76th District.
For this campaign to be successful, it will require a strong and organized grassroots organization. I have been meeting with local political, business and civic leaders to understand the concerns of not only the citizens but the community as a whole. I have also been in extensive conversations with local educators to find how we can better prepare our students for the future. It is imperative that we reduce crime and increase public safety. We must support education and strengthen our public schools. We must improve the quality of life and well-being of citizens in our community and all of Missouri, and improve services for veterans of the armed forces.
I’m turning to the people who know me best, and inviting them to get involved in my campaign and help make the difference. Your early contribution, made payable to the “Committee to Elect Damon D Haymer” will give our race a tremendous boost.
