Every two years this country elects, or re-elects all 435 Congress members, and 1/3 of the US Senate that’s a whole lot of race to keep up with. Sometimes it’s even hard to keep up with our own GA races.
Those of us with an interest in politics-some might even say obsession, have friends from all around the country who still love us for our obsession. They will bring candidates to our attention, candidates that might otherwise not hit our radar.
Tommy Sowers was brought to my attention by Representative-Elect Scott Holcomb, they became friends while serving in Kosavo. Tommy returned home to Southeast Missouri and the 8th Congressional district to find as he says;
I am running for Congress to fight for the future of my home, to bring economic opportunity back and to serve the people of Southeastern Missouri. As a soldier in the United States Army, I served my country in Kosovo and in Iraq. I returned to Missouri to find my home in economic turmoil, with double-digit unemployment and a disappearing way of life. I believe in the future of Southeast Missouri and it is my duty to fight for it.
After checking out his really well done website, with loads of great videos, I believe that Tommy is certainly more than capable of taking on this fight.
Tommy is a former Green Beret, two-term Iraq vet, born and bred Midwesterner who’s made the DCCC’s Red to Blue list. As a bonus, he plans to take down a 14-year Republican incumbent in Rush Limbaugh’s home district, the MO 8th.
Now that you all have been formally introduced, the campaign would like to invite you meet Tommy in Atlanta and help him with his efforts. On Monday August 30th, the campaign invites you to a fundraiser at the home of Jenny and Allen Cermak, a link to the invite is below.
I’m sure it goes without saying that we need strong leaders to be elected this cycle, folks like Tommy who put themselves out there to tackle the serious issues this nation faces, should have our support.
