Heartland Connection: Carnahan campaigns in Kirksville to “Stop the Bull”

KIRKSVILLE, MO — Democrat Robin Carnahan brought her “Stop the Bull” campaign to Kirksville on Wednesday. In recent months, Carnahan has been traveling throughout Missouri talking about her focus on putting middle class families first and fixing what’s broken in Washington. Carnahan is currently Missouri’s Secretary of State and is running for United States Senate. “To me, Washington is broken” said Carnahan. “First thing that we need to do is get this wasteful spending under control. Second thing we need to do is focus on small businesses that create jobs and not keep bailing out the folks that are to big to fail and got us into this mess. The third thing is we got to take on this culture of corruption and that’s what I was in Kirksville talking about today.”
