Dear Friend,
I have spent the last few months building a tree house with my boys, returning to full-time status in my medical practice and enjoying unhurried dinner dates with my wife and our friends — missing my public service duties.
When our community leaders approached me to replace State Senator Joan Bray, who by law must retire next year (term limits), I was flattered, encouraged and easily persuaded to run for her State Senate District 24 seat.
With my years of providing constituent services as a city councilman and state representative, with my years of service as a medical doctor, and with my experience in Jefferson City as a fiscal conservative, I believe that I have the discipline, experience and compassion needed to help the State Senate as it addresses healthcare, housing, jobs, veterans issues and our other problems.
With your support, we will build a strong campaign team, we will raise the necessary funds and we will campaign relentlessly until our November 2 victory.
The state's political observers presently identify me as the leading candidate for this open seat — but a strong fundraising effort before the June 30 reporting date is essential to confirm and to retain this status.
I would deeply appreciate your help, and I hope that you will go now to my online donation page so that I can report your contribution in my second quarter total.
Please join me as we begin our new beginning.
Warmest regards,
Sam Page, M.D.
Candidate for Missouri State Senate
