By Former State Senator Mike Cunningham
As a former member of the legislature, I understand the importance of strong, principled leadership in the State Senate. Our district needs a senator who not only understands our values but is also dedicated to working tirelessly for our community. That is why I am proud to endorse Travis Smith for State Senate.
Travis Smith embodies the values and dedication necessary for this role. As a businessman, farmer, and former high school coach, Travis has a deep understanding of our community’s needs and challenges. His experience in small business and agriculture, combined with his commitment to local community involvement, makes him uniquely qualified to represent us in the State Senate.
Travis has shown unwavering support for conservative values that resonate with the people of our district. He is a strong advocate for the unborn, a defender of Second Amendment rights, and a protector of private property and privacy rights. His commitment to these principles is evident in his actions and his words.
Public safety is another area where Travis has demonstrated exceptional dedication. He has consistently supported our law enforcement and first responders, ensuring they have the resources and support they need to keep our communities safe. His endorsements from the Missouri Fire Fighters and the Fraternal Order of Police highlight his strong commitment to public safety and respect for those who protect us.
Travis’s approach to governance is one of reasoned persuasion and collaboration, which aligns with the successful model used by many of our past senators. He understands that effective leadership involves not just talking but delivering real results for our community. His ability to work with colleagues across the aisle to pass meaningful legislation will be invaluable in the State Senate.
In contrast, his opponent, has aligned himself closely with a disruptive approach that has often led to legislative paralysis and hindered progress. While ambition is not inherently negative, it must be coupled with a genuine desire to serve the public and achieve tangible results. Travis Smith embodies this spirit of public service, and I have no doubt that he will continue to put the interests of our community first.
I wholeheartedly endorse Travis Smith for the position of 33rd District State Senator. Let’s choose a leader who will genuinely serve our community and uphold our conservative values. Please join me in supporting Travis Smith in the upcoming election.
