WASHINGTON – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Steele released the following statement on the Missouri primary election results today:

“Congratulations to Congressman Roy Blunt and all the Republican candidates who won their primary election this evening.  The people of Missouri are roundly rejecting the liberal agenda of Democrats in Washington, and Republicans are ready to stand up against the big-spending policies of the Obama Administration that are being forced through Congress against the will of the people.

“Congressman Roy Blunt heads a strong slate of Republican candidates who will stop the out of control spending and unchecked growth of government under Democrat leadership.  With unemployment stuck at 9.5 percent and a skyrocketing deficit, Missouri can’t afford politicians who will simply rubberstamp Barack Obama’s dangerous economic policies.  Missouri voters will send a clear message to the White House in November that the Obama agenda is bad for the economy and it’s time to change course.”
