Electric service providers in Missouri have warned that the EPA's so-called Clean Power Plan will raise energy costs for Missourians, reduce jobs, and hurt our state's economic competitiveness. As a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I've fought hard to ensure provisions that would defund this harmful power grab were included in the final appropriations bill. I also support legislation to block this harmful rule and protect workers and families from the damaging effects of the Obama Administration's executive overreach and costly energy regulations.

It's not long-term debt if the money is immediately paid back.

I'm interested in being part of a majority in the Senate.

Hey, well, I've been a pretty conservative member of congress.

I think there needs to be a much more significant filter on those Donald Trump tweets. It's OK to have some unspoken and untweeted thoughts.

I continue to be a strong believer in the life-saving importance of early detection, and I encourage everyone to be proactive about their preventive screenings.
