Treasurer Clint Zweifel headlines House Democrats “Road to the Majority” tour in northeast and central Missouri

Six-stop tour highlights strong field of Democratic candidates for 2010 midterm election

St. Louis - The Missouri House Democrats will continue their “Road to the Majority” Tour in northeast and central Missouri on Friday, February 26, and Saturday, February 27. State Treasurer Clint Zweifel (ZWY-ful) will headline events in Troy, Louisiana, Hannibal, Kirksville, Macon and Columbia.

"We have a strong field of Democrats running in 2010 who understand the need for innovative and fiscally-responsible solutions to move Missouri’s economy forward,” Treasurer Zweifel said. “They understand we need to provide small businesses and farms right here in Missouri with the tools they need to succeed and provide quality jobs that put food on the table for Missouri families.”

The grassroots fundraising tour will highlight local candidates for the state legislature.

“While the Republican leadership continues to talk about everything but jobs in Jefferson City, Missouri Democrats are taking our message to everyday working class families. That message is simply that we need to deliver real jobs to our citizens,” said State Representative Mike Talboy, Democratic Speaker-elect and Chairman of the House Democratic Campaign Committee.
