"I am honored to deliver the Republican response to the State of the State in conjunction with Senator Schaefer," said Jones in a press statement. "The Republican majority in the Missouri General Assembly has worked extremely hard to put our state on track, and we will continue to do so during the 2012 legislative session."
Jones, a resident, stated he looks forward to the opportunity to speak to Missourians about commitment to the well-being of the state and about a responsible, fiscally-conservative approach to government.
