"Freedom is a fragile thing and it's never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by way of inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation." ~Future President Ronald Reagan, 1967
Thank you to all of the veterans who defended that freedom and carried it forward to the present generation!

21 years ago I left MCC-Maple Woods as a student. Happy to be back on campus to get an update from President Crowe and tour the Veterinary Technology building that was recently rehabbed thanks to a state grant.

Energy and economic development are intertwined in the modern economy. Without reliable and affordable electricity, there will be no job growth in Missouri.
I spent the day in Jefferson City with the Missouri PSC at the PowerMO Summit discussing the infrastructure issues facing our state.

It was an honor to help welcome @AGCHanaway to Smithville! Thankful for the work she does protecting families.
Great to join @HerzogEducation President Darrell Jones, CEO Frank Kruse, and Representative @JoshHurlbert for a tour of these beautiful headquarters in Smithville. I know Stan would be so proud of their stewardship and commitment to supporting Christian education.
Expanding access to quality schooling is a goal we all should share. Our North Star should always be what is best for each child.

It was a beautiful morning to help welcome @SBA_Kelly Loeffler to Clinton County this morning as part of The Voices That Built America small business town hall.
Thank you to the Shattos for their hospitality!

There has been a lot of discussion about school spending this week with @NKCSchools holding budget cutting community meetings. Unfortunately, most of the focus has been on #moleg holding our K-12 spending steady at record levels instead of the spending coming from the district.
A kindergarten teacher with 20 students has $450,000 sitting in her classroom. How much of that is actually being focused on teachers and classroom instruction?

The Legislature has shown a commitment to Missouri students. However, it should be clear that years of spending well above inflation and over the Missouri average have put the district in this position.

The weather was perfect this morning to take the kids down to visit Big Boy - the largest operating steam locomotive in the world. It is currently on tour across the country to commemorate America's 250th anniversary and the part railroads play in that story.

I made a quick trip down to Jefferson City today to take part in the bill signing ceremony for SB 1629, which I was honored to handle in the House. 1/2 #moleg

This simple half-page bill clarified some of the 811 modernizations included in last year's SB 133, misinterpretations of which were affecting our home builders. Thank you to Sen @travisfitzwater for your leadership on the issue and to @GovMikeKehoe for signing the legislation!
