(JOPLIN, MO.) \u2013 Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Trudy Busch Valentine brought her campaign to Joplin Saturday afternoon stopping for an appearance before supporters and media in Joplin\u2019s Landreth Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Busch Valentine is running for the seat being vacated by Senator Roy Blunt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her Republican opponent is Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She is one of 11 children born to August \u201cGussie\u201d Busch, a pioneer behind the Anheuser-Busch brewing empire based in St. Louis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Busch Valentine was making a swing through Jasper, Cass, Bates, Vernon, and Laclede counties on her third \u201cNobody\u2019s Senator but Yours\u201d RV tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She criticized her Schmitt for letting China buy 145,000 acres of Missouri farmland. Schmitt voted to allow foreign-owned businesses, including the Chinese to buy Missouri farmland when he was a State Senator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat puts our country at risk,\u201d she said. \u201cEven Republican members of Congress agree it\u2019s a risk to our national security and our food supply .I have owned a farm in Missouri for 30 years. I will always put family farmers over Chinese profits and in the Senate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Busch Valentine said the politics of the extreme right are a grave nature to the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGuys like Eric Schmitt want to take our rights away and they want to tell us what to do.\u201d she stated. \u201cThey want to divide us. They also peddle conspiracy theories about legitimate elections being stolen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe 2020 election was a fair and safe election. Even Donald Trump\u2019s Justice Department said it was one of the most secure and safe elections in the history of this country because it had been counted and re-counted so many times.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Busch Valentine, a nurse, has worked in hospice care and with abused children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI also defend a woman\u2019s right to a safe and legal abortion and birth control,\u201d she said in Joplin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Busch Valentine has pledged to not take corporate PAC money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She said she supports the people\u2019s initiative on recreation marijuana in Missouri and opposes Senators trading stocks while holding public office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
