I have neglected writing about this…
During the run up to the recent election I spent quite a bit of time talking about the race for U.S. Congress here in my home district (MO-04), and I am very happy to say that Vicky Hartzler did indeed defeat Ike Skelton on November 2. I have no idea why I didn’t get around to writing about his until now, I guess it kind of slipped my mind during the euphoria of the sweeping victories across the country… From Vicky’s facebook page:
“We did it!!!! We united together as the good people of the 4th District and said, ‘It’s time to take back our country!’ “
She then went on to say this was a result of the people of this district being fed-up with the direction of the country:
“Some people were surprised. I wasn’t because I know YOU. We are not Nancy Pelosi and I have been sharing with people for over a year now that we are fed up, fired up, and were going to stand up on Election Day and make our voices heard—and we did!”
This is just a story that has become familiar in recent days as Americans across the nation took to the polls on election day in an effort to “take back our country.” The final margin of victory was 50%-45% in favor of Hartzler. Here is Skelton’s concession…
