Forging Forward to 2010
Experience and Vision in the 24th Legislative District
"Never in my 30 years of public service in Missouri have I seen a budget crisis like that which looms before us. It's not a matter of eliminating wasteful spending. The cuts that will need to be made to balance the state budget, as constitutionally required, will affect all of us. There are no good choices. Each decision we make will hurt a significant segment of Missouri citizens. We are now forced to mortgage our future because of past legislative decisions that eroded our reserve funds—a reserve required in times such as this. What can I possibly tell each constituent who urges me to spare the cut that most severely affects them? There are no victors in this budgetary war." - Chris Kelly

The 2008 campaign was long and grueling and 2010 is fast approaching. A two-year electoral cycle is simply not as long as it used to be! As I prepare for the upcoming session beginning on January 6, I also must simultaneously begin to plan and fundraise for the 2010 Primary and General Elections. (By the way, I'd really appreciate your help in that regard--a safe, secure, online contribution link appears above.)
During the campaign, I personally knocked on more than 10,000 doors all across the 24th District. I talked with thousands of voters, each with his or her own opinions. I believe I've learned what the people of the 24th expect, but that doesn't mean there is any room for complacency. I'll continue to make every public event possible and talk to anybody who has an opinion throughout the coming months. That's the best way I know to serve you.
Until we meet in person, remember that my Capitol door is always open, my email inbox is always available, and I always return phone calls. Thank you for your confidence in me and your continued support!
