Thank you for answering MHA’s unprecedented call to vote in the primary election. Your encouragement to coworkers, family, friends and neighbors to vote on Aug. 6 has been invaluable. Most importantly, thank you for using your voice to help support candidates who support health care as Tuesday’s elections set the stage for the Nov. 5 general election and beyond.
In a highly contested Republican primary race for governor, your collective efforts have made a significant difference. Mike Kehoe, MHA’s endorsed candidate, won by 7%. His record of support for health care initiatives was significantly different than that of his opponents. Last night’s results — highlighted by Kehoe’s primary victory — will ensure that Missourians will have gubernatorial candidates on the ballot in November who support health care.
