Missouri race could decide control of the U.S. Senate
R
oy Blunt was in his mid-30s when he won his first statewide
election to become Missouri secretary of state, a position
that later helped catapult him to longstanding service in
Washington, D.C.
Now Missouri’s current secretary of state, Jason Kander, is
hoping to take that same path — and unseat Blunt in the process.
Benefits
The race is expected to be close and the election here is drawing
national attention, as Missouri’s seat could either give Democrats
control of the Senate or help Republicans keep the majority they
gained after the 2014 election.

JASON KANDER, FRIENDS OF ROY BLUNT
Improve cash flow
Incumbent Sen. Roy Blunt, a Republican, is campaigning for
his second term in the Senate after he won an open seat in
2010 following Kit Bond’s retirement from office. He previously
served as one of his party’s top leaders in the U.S. House
of Representatives. Blunt’s earlier jobs include serving as
Greene County clerk and working as a college president and a
schoolteacher.
Democrat Jason Kander decided to challenge Blunt after serving
one term as Missouri secretary of state. Kander was previously
a lawmaker in the Missouri House of Representatives. He is
also a veteran who served as an Army intelligence officer in
Afghanistan, conducting anti-corruption investigations.
During their time as lawmakers, both Kander and Blunt have
worked on legislation aimed at boosting the manufacturing
industry. In 2010, Kander co-sponsored the Manufacturing Jobs Act
in the Missouri House of Representatives. The act was signed into
law later that year and led to Ford and General Motors expanding
their manufacturing operations in Missouri.
In 2014, Blunt introduced the Revitalize American Manufacturing
and Innovation Act. The act is intended to spur innovation and
help ensure the domestic manufacturing industry stays globally
competitive.
“Supporting innovation and manufacturing in America will help
us continue to compete in a global economy,” Blunt said in a news
release upon the act’s passage. “I look forward to building on this
success in the new Congress and working with my colleagues to pass
policies that encourage more economic opportunity and jump-start
good-paying jobs for workers in Missouri and nationwide.”
As secretary of state, Kander suggested that Missouri
should reduce its business filing fees to the lowest in the
nation, a proposal that has not yet become law. He also
modernized the form-filing process, allowing businesses to
electronically file nearly all government-required paperwork.
“If you are an entrepreneur who’s trying to be successful, I want
