Sarah Steelman: A strong conservative senatorial candidate for Missouri.
For Missourians fed up with Claire McCaskill — who recently voted against repealing Obamacare in spite of its unpopularity with 71% of her constituents – there is a wonderful alternative for 2012, conservative Republican Sarah Steelman.
And she’s already off to a great start according to this report from The Hill:
Missouri Republican Sarah Steelman raised more than $200,000 in the first month of her bid for the GOP nod to challenge Sen. Claire McCaskill (D).
Steelman, who announced her run on Dec. 1, bested McCaskill’s fourth-quarter total by almost $70,000, a warning sign for the first-term Democrat.
Steelman’s cash-on-hand figure also eclipses those of her rivals for the GOP Senate nomination. She has $188,867 banked whereas former House candidate Ed Martin has about $40,000 and Rep. Sam Graves, who has yet to announce his intentions, reported having less than $30,000 in the bank at the start of the year.
Here’s the candidate in her own words:
This is one race we’re going to watch very closely, and we look forward to hopefully interviewing Sarah Steelman on a future Conservative Diva internet radio broadcast. Stay tuned!
Daria….this is one of the candidates that Steve Maloney is promoting! I will be speaking with him tomorrow evening about Diva!
Great post, Great candidate!!
Thanks Ellen! I just fixed the video, btw.
I listen to KSGF out of Springfield every morning from 6:00am – 9:00am.
I know as much about “claire bear” as I do about reps. from Wisconsin!
She has become quite a fence sitter and a great double talker.
She knows she is a short timer.
I will put this video up on my page to start getting the word out about Sarah Steelman.
