Blunt: Congressman Reacts to Son's Announcement

By Brad Belote

Congressman Roy Blunt reacts to his son's announcement he will not seek re-election this year.



WASHINGTON – House Republican Whip Roy Blunt (Mo.) issued the following statement today after his son, Gov. Matt Blunt, announced his decision to not seek reelection this year:



“I’m proud of the job Matt has done for our state. Under his leadership, Missouri went from a state that consistently lost jobs to a state that consistently created them – all while creating new opportunities for people of all walks of life. I respect his decision to spend this year being the best governor he can be in service of our state and its people, rather than letting the focus shift to pure politics.”

Good, now he will have more time to devote to the ethanol plant his brother received state permission and funding to begin.

Roy is going to be running as fast as his son. They are both crooks.
