Curtis here, my candidate Jeff Reed took part in a virtual Q+A with the 20,000 member Beer Party group on Facebook. We had a good exchange, Jeff showed why his candidacy is worth supporting.
Jeff Reed
Well, first off, I appreciate you allowing me to participate in this forum with The Beer Party.
Well, in Missouri's 9th District, we are currently represented by Blaine Luetkemeyer, A Republican and recent member of The Tea Party caucus. A few months ago, I got involved with the Coffee Party movement in Mid-Missouri. My involvement with that was a very valuable learning experience. It also led me to Congressman Luetkemeyers office to have talks on him sitting down with my group to talk one on one about what we could all be doing together to improve the process and the way of life for millions of Americans. Needless to say, my office visit did not go very well and they used that as an opportunity to fling GOP buzzwords at me for an hour.
The filing deadline came and passed and no Democratic challenger stepped up to the plate. So I filed as a Write In to give a voice to the constituents of my district, that do support a health care plan for all americans, that do want to invest in clean energy jobs, and that do want the middle and working class to have a chance.
