Speaker-Elect Tim Jones Endorses Todd Akin for U.S. Senate

Congressman Akin is a true conservative, and I would like to offer him my full support in his campaign against out-of-touch Senator Claire McCaskill.

The records of Congressman Akin and Senator McCaskill present voters with a very clear choice in November.

We are at a key inflection point in our nation's history and it is time for every Missourian to consider the stark contrast between Todd Akin and Claire McCaskill. Congressman Akin has consistently led on conservative issues, standing up for our individual freedoms, working to reduce and limit the size and scope of government, and voting on multiple occasions to end and defund ObamaCare.

Senator McCaskill, however, has served as little more than a rubber stamp for the Obama agenda. She voted for ObamaCare, supported the wasteful stimulus program, and has on many occasions voted against efforts to stop harmful EPA rules that would discourage energy independence and raise utility rates.

Missouri families are suffering because Senator McCaskill has been unwavering in her support of the Obama agenda. Clearly, Senator McCaskill is out of touch with our state. It is time for us to elect a true conservative, dedicated leader and public servant like Todd Akin to be our next United States Senator.
