Claire McCaskill: A Senator on OUR Side
Washington D.C is spiraling out of control. Moneyed interests outweigh the will of the people. A war is being fought without a strategy to win -- or keep us safe. And billions of dollars are being added every day to a deficit our children will have to pay. Meanwhile, the urgent needs of everyday Americans are neglected. As Senator, Claire McCaskill is standing up for Missouri's families.
In the tradition of Harry Truman, Claire McCaskill means it when she says: "The Buck Stops Here." Growing up in rural Missouri, Claire was taught strong, small town values that stayed with her during her 23 years of serving the public. As a Missouri state representative, county prosecutor and state auditor, Claire has dedicated her life to listening to the needs of working families, holding government accountable and ensuring public policies benefit the people, not the special interests.
Claire McCaskill is working hard to become a strong voice of reason in Washington. She is fighting for Missouri values by focusing on the issues that Missourians care about most: keeping our nation safe, solving our nation's growing energy crisis, quality healthcare for all, and accountability to the people they serve.
At a time when common sense in Washington D.C. is in short supply, Senator McCaskill working to put everyday Missourians ahead of the special interests.
