ICYMI: Defunding the Police will make Missouri less safe

St. Louis, Mo. – In an op-ed published in The Heartlander, Missouri Attorney General and candidate for U.S. Senate Eric Schmitt wrote how the Democrats’ agenda to Defund the Police is dangerous and how Trudy Busch Valentine support of this agenda will make Missouri less safe.

“Liberal prosecutors and the continued march by far-left activists to Defund the Police contributes to a decline in morale among rank-and-file officers. I hear it all the time when I speak to rank-and-file officers. When Democratic politicians push an anti-cop agenda, fewer men and women will want to put on the uniform.

“I will always push back on these radical politicians. We cannot remain silent, and we cannot allow politicians who support this anti-cop agenda to gain an inch. My opponent in this race for Senate, Trudy Busch Valentine, has admitted to the St. Louis American that she is aligned with the Defund the Police crowd and their radical agenda. Any support to policies that Defund the Police is reckless, dangerous, and irresponsible,” said Eric Schmitt.

As Missouri’s Attorney General, Eric Schmitt has worked to get violent criminals off our streets and justice for victims, while ensuring our police officers get the resources they need. Previously in this election, Attorney General Schmitt has received endorsements from the Missouri Fraternal Order of Police, the Missouri State Council of Fire Fighters, former U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft, former Acting U.S. Attorney General Matt Whitaker, and dozens of sheriffs across the state.

New Ad: Schmitt Releases “Your Vote,” Highlighting Valentine’s Support for the Radical Democratic Agenda

St. Louis, Mo. – U.S. Senate candidate and Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt released “Your Vote” for broadcast television today. With Election Day one week away, Missouri voters will decide between Trudy Busch Valentine’s rubber-stamp support for Joe Biden and Attorney General Schmitt’s support for lower taxes.

“During this election, Trudy Busch Valentine has campaigned to become the 51st vote for the radical Biden agenda, which has resulted in higher taxes, bigger government, and rising prices. Simply put, Missourians cannot afford Trudy Busch Valentine. In the Senate, I will fight Biden’s disastrous economic policies, lower taxes, and champion Missouri values,” said Eric Schmitt.

New Ad: Trudy Busch Valentine = Big City Liberal

St. Louis, MO – The Schmitt for Senate campaign launched a new ad in the Kansas City market today, highlighting Trudy Busch Valentine’s radical, anti-cop agenda. While Attorney General Eric Schmitt has fought to keep our streets safe, radical Democrats have pushed to Defund our Police by millions of dollars.

“Trudy Busch Valentine has failed to put our men and women in blue first,” said Schmitt for Senate campaign spokesperson Rich Chrimser. “Valentine continues to campaign with and to court the support of Big City Liberals, who have tried to Defund the Police. While our police officers keep us safe, Valentine wants to go to DC to support the radical anti-cop agenda.”

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.

Americans are Paying the Price for Democrats’ Anti-Police and Soft-on-Crime Policies

October is Crime Prevention Month and with radical Democrats pushing soft-on-crime policies across the country, it is more important than ever to send law-and-order candidates to Washington. Attorney General Eric Schmitt backs the Blue and has a record of making our streets safer. Eric Schmitt launched the Safer Streets Initiative; worked with legislators to pass important legislation to prosecute carjackings effectively; launched the Cold Case Unit; and championed common-sense policy solutions to support our first responders, including championing higher pay and relaxing residency requirements.

Attorney General Eric Schmitt has always supported our law enforcement officials who protect us day and day out. The Heiress Valentine can’t say the same as she remains silent and REFUSES to condemn the Democrats that push radical anti-police positions.

Attorney General Eric Schmitt is leading The Heiress Valentine by double digits in the U.S. Senate race. Missouri knows Eric Schmitt is the CLEAR choice and will fight for Missourians everyday in the United States Senate.

New Ad: Eric Schmitt Released ‘Hard Work,’ Highlighting His Working Class Roots.

Attorney General Eric Schmitt released his second broadcast TV ad of the 2022 general election. The ad highlights Eric Schmitts working-class roots and the lessons learned from his dad, who worked the midnight shift at the Anheuser-Busch brewery.

“My family taught me the value of hard work and that the promise of America should be attainable for anyone, no matter your background,” said Eric Schmitt. “The Democrat’s radical policies endorsed by The Heiress Valentine are costing hardworking Missourians not only more at the pump, the grocery store and for utilities—but a shot at the American Dream. In the Senate, I’ll fight for the forgotten men and women of this country every single day.

Eric Schmitt’s Working Class Roots

Eric Schmitt has always known hard work and grit, from starting work at a young age to law school, Schmitt has never backed down from a challenge. After graduating from high school, his grandfather opened a meat market here in St. Louis. His father worked seven nights a week on the midnight shift at Anheuser-Busch brewery.

In July, Trudy Busch Valentine said she would “absolutely” debate. Well, on Tuesday she refused a debate hosted by Nexstar Media Group after Attorney General Eric Schmitt had accepted.

“Missourians will not be surprised that The Heiress Valentine is refusing to debate because they know her extreme positions only connect with a small inner circle of liberal elites, and not Missouri families statewide who are struggling under the disastrous Biden-Schumer economic policies she supports,” Attorney General Eric Schmitt

FAREWELL FAUCI!

Anthony Fauci announced that he was stepping down in December, just in time for the Republicans to take back the House and Senate. Don’t be fooled…, Fauci will have his time in court that will showcase just how crippling his lies were that destroyed so many livelihoods.

“Missouri has a lawsuit right now about Fauci coordinating with Big Tech to silence dissent and outsourcing censorship … he’s got a lot of questions that need to be answered, and I look forward to hopefully being a part of that next year,” said Eric Schmitt.

The COVID tyranny that we saw under Fauci’s reign is another example of the elitist and socialist regime that has caused this recession, 40 year high inflation rate, and has declared war on American energy.

“Fauci is not going to get away with it”

SAY GOOD RIDDANCE TO FAUCI!
