Legislative Column for the Week of Nov. 3, 2014

Thank you for the Chance to Serve You Again

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all of my constituents and supporters for the honor of serving you for another term in the Missouri Senate.

Although I was unopposed in the election, nearly 32,000 voters took the effort to show their support for me at the polls.

Being a state senator is sometimes a daunting task. Keeping track of legislation, listening to the needs and concerns of people in my district and trying to make choices that will benefit all Missourians makes me a very busy man during session. But the position is one that I take very seriously, and it is a true honor to represent you in this manner.

I love to hear from the citizens who take the time to let me know when legislative change is needed. Most of the bills I sponsor come directly from you, the people, voicing your ideas, and prompting legislation to improve our way of life. This, to me, is democracy at work.

Always feel free to contact me throughout the year with any comments, questions, or issues by calling my office at (573) 751-5713 or by visiting www.senate.mo.gov/brown.

Thank you for reading this and for your participation in state government.
