“Determination, leadership and a desire to return the support he received growing up in Boone County form the backbone of Stephen Webber’s service career,” said Jon Soltz, Iraq War Veteran and Chairman of VoteVets.org. “Stephen Webber’s record of fighting for quality public schools and a strong University of Missouri demonstrates his commitment to provide opportunities for generations of Missourians to come. Stephen Webber is a proven leader and will make an exemplary State Senator for the 19th district.”

“I’m honored to receive the endorsement of my fellow veterans and their supporters,” said Rep. Stephen Webber. “Enlisting in the Marine Corps and representing Columbia in the Missouri legislature are ways I’ve tried to return the support I received growing up in Boone County. For too long Republicans have ignored what families need to make ends meet, let alone get ahead. In the State Senate I will continue to value our families and fight for quality public schools and a strong university so every Missouri family has an opportunity to get ahead.”
