Eric Schmitt Backs The Blue

Attorney General Eric Schmitt has released a new broadcast ad highlighting The Heiress Valentine’s dangerous, soft-on-crime positions. While The Heiress signs onto Mayor Tishaura Jones and Cori Bush’s radical defund the police agenda, Attorney General Eric Schmitt has taken on violent crime and supported our law enforcement officials.

The radical left and their woke agenda is leaving our brave men and women in blue behind and stripping away their morale. This anti-police agenda being fostered by the left has caused a complete disregard for the rule of law, causing crime rates to skyrocket.

“As cities across the United States experience rising crime rates, Democrats who push to Defund the Police are reckless, irresponsible, and directly at fault for this spike in crime. The Heiress Trudy Busch Valentine promises to take her marching orders directly from the Defund the Police squad. As your Senator, I will fight for our law enforcement officials, make our streets safe, and continue to be tough on crime,” Attorney General Eric Schmitt

Eric Schmitt Posts Strongest Quarter Yet with $2.5 Raised to Support Schmitt for Senate

St. Louis, MO — Today, with less than 30 days until the general election, Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt’s campaign for U.S. Senate reported its strongest quarter yet, raising $2.5 million during the third quarter of 2022.

“Given the disaster that is the Biden administration, it is imperative that the Republicans take back the Senate so we can restore common sense to DC,” said Eric Schmitt. “The Limousine Liberal Trudy Busch Valentine thinks she can buy this seat and ignore the needs of working families. This wide support demonstrates Missourians are ready for a GOP-led Senate to lower prices, make America energy independent, and hold the Biden administration accountable.”

In the most recent quarter, Eric Schmitt added nearly $1.5 million to his campaign, bringing his committee total to nearly $5 million since the launch of his campaign. The Missouri Schmitt Victory Committee also added $500,000 to its efforts, while another supporting campaign, Save Missouri Values, raised $508,000.

Despite being outspent nearly 3-to-1 in recent weeks, Eric Schmitt continues to maintain a dominating, double-digit lead over The Heiress Trudy Busch Valentine according to Real Clear Politics.

‘Grill Dad’ Ad is Hitting the Airwaves

Attorney General Eric Schmitt has just launched a new TV ad and we are hitting the airwaves starting today!

Republican nominee for U.S. Senate and Missouri’s Attorney General Eric Schmitt released his first broadcast TV ad of the 2022 general election. “Grill Dad” Eric Schmitt highlights how rising inflation in Joe Biden’s economy impacts the life of every Missourian.

“Moms and dads are finding it more and more expensive to live in Joe Biden’s America,” said Eric Schmitt. “Joe Biden and his radical allies have caused this rising inflation. In the U.S. Senate, I’ll end wasteful spending and continue fighting to put money back in your pocket.”

Under the Biden-Schumer agenda, supported by Trudy Busch Valentine, inflation is at record levels. Groceries prices have seen their largest increase in 43 years.

Eric Schmitt is an Advocate for Individuals with Disabilities

Attorney General Eric Schmitt has been an advocate and friend to individuals with disabilities, drawing on his personal experience with his son Stephen to help further advocate and understand to help Missouri families. A lot of politicians talk about helping others, Eric Schmitt has a record of actually standing up for people with disabilities. Thanks to Eric Schmitt’s advocacy, individuals with disabilities are able to live a more secure and independent life here in Missouri.

Eric Schmitt launched the MO ABLE program, allowing thousands of individuals with disabilities to save for their futures. The Missouri ABLE program allows a person with disabilities, or their families, to open a tax-exempt savings account for the purpose of paying expenses relating to disabilities, including autism.

Eric Schmitt worked with families to ensure they could record IEP meetings. IEP stands for Individual Education Plans. When a student has a learning disability or they are on the autism spectrum, these IEP’s are very important and serve as a long term roadmap. For parents, teachers, and students alike, IEP’s are a helpful tool for those with disabilities to still experience in-person school while incorporating necessary tools to ensure success.

Eric Schmitt ensured those with epilepsy could reach needed treatments in Missouri instead of having to move to other states. Schmitt championed House Bill 2238 which allowed for the use of cannabidiol to be used to treat epilepsy patients who don’t respond to conventional treatments. Individuals wanting to use CBD oil as a treatment prior would have had to move states.

Eric Schmitt fought the insurance companies to ensure children with autism could get necessary treatments. Schmitt championed and passed House Bill 1311 which requires Missouri health insurers to provide coverage for autism in general, and for applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapies. ABA is the most effective form of therapy for many individuals with autism and can be extremely expensive when there is no insurance coverage.

In Case You Missed It – NO MORE COVID INSANITY

The Heiress Valentine has double downed on COVID insanity. Just the other day, Valentine claimed the COVID-19 pandemic wasn’t over, despite Biden’s claim that it is in fact over. She and her Far-Left allies want to continue their tyranny over us. AG Schmitt will always fight to empower Missourians and allow them to make their own decisions–Valentine stands with the most radical forces of her party to have power over people.
