Senator Jon Tester, Chair of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, issued the following statement this morning on Missouri Secretary of State Jason Kander’s announcement that he is running for Missouri’s U.S. Senate seat:
“Jason Kander’s dedicated his life to service and he will make a great U.S. Senator who always puts Missouri first. Jason’s experience serving his country in Afghanistan and as a U.S. Army Captain, and his time in the General Assembly and Secretary of State’s office leaves him well equipped to fight for Missouri’s middle class against Washington D.C.’s powerful special interests. Missouri deserves a Senator who will put politics aside, and work with both parties to do what’s best for their state, and I know that’s what Jason Kander will do in Washington. I look forward to supporting his campaign and working with him in the U.S. Senate.”
