Dear Steven,
I haven't
always made leaders in my
party very happy, and I've
stepped on some toes since coming to
the Senate, but that's okay - I'm
here to get results for you.
A new analysis by
the Washington Post
highlighted that fact when they
ranked me among the most independent
Senators - and one most likely to
vote against my own party.
According to
the analysis: ..."we looked at every
vote taken in the House and Senate
so far in the 114th Congress. We
figured out the majority position
for each party (in cases where it
was not unanimous) and compared
every member of each body's vote
against the party majority." - Washington
Post.
Here's a
look at the results:
During my
time in the Senate, I've fought to
cap federal spending, abolish
unnecessary federal agencies and end
Congressional earmarks. It's those
battles, which consistently find me
ranked in the
moderate middle, that help me
achieve concrete results for
Missourians - to expand job
opportunities, cut wasteful
spending, and help clean up
Washington so folks have a little
more confidence in their federal
government.
