Brown Builds on Local Support in Richmond Heights
Posted May 7, 2008 at 04:14 PM
Steve Brown, candidate for Missouri’s 73rd House District seat, continues to win the endorsements of local elected officials. Most recently, Jim Beck and Betty Humphrey have announced their support of his candidacy.
Mayor Jim Beck had this to say about Brown: “Steve is a strong candidate. He has a great deal of experience as a public servant, has a great personal style, and he’s been pounding the pavement here in Richmond Heights for months now. I hope I get the chance to work with him in the coming years.”
Former Mayor Betty Humphrey had similar feelings about Brown: “Steve is so hard-working, and he clearly cares about the people of this district. Add that to his experience in state government and knowledge about policy, and you get an excellent public servant.”
A spokesperson for Steve Brown’s campaign said Brown was honored to have the Mayors’ support. “It is always great to have the support of municipal officials, and not just because they are helpful in elections. Partnering with local officials is essential for effective representation. Being a State Representative is about much more than casting votes in the General Assembly, it is also about working with the local leaders in your district to ensure that government – at all levels – is working the best it can for all the people.”
Brown appears to be laying the groundwork to be just such a Representative. With the endorsements of Former Mayor Humphrey, Mayor Beck, and the previously announced endorsement of Maplewood Mayor Mark Langston, Brown is building a solid foundation of support among municipal leaders in his district.
These are just the latest endorsements for Brown. He is also backed by U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill, Former State Treasurer Nancy Farmer, the Family of Sue Shear, County Councilman Mike O’Mara, and The Missouri Firefighters Association.
