February 9, 2013

Washington, DC – National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Greg Walden (R-OR) released the following statement regarding State Representative Jason Smith’s nomination in the Republican contest for Missouri’s 8th Congressional District:

“I congratulate Jason Smith on his victory as he transitions towards what will be a successful general special election campaign. It is clear that much like Congresswoman Jo Ann Emerson, Jason will bring the fight to Washington to protect Missourians’ conservative and commonsense free market principles. With Jason in Washington, Missourians will have another great voice in Congress to represent their values. Jason Smith is the strong, pro-growth option in this race and I look forward to joining him in getting Americans back to work.”
