From the youngest to the oldest of us, we all need a family. Family is the rock you lean on when times are tough. Family is the source of our greatest happiness and support. Without family, my father couldn’t have found his way through the hard days working three jobs. Without family, I couldn’t have found my way through those tough days after the ‘08 recession. When I look into my wife and daughter’s eyes, I know I’m standing up for and fighting for family. I know so many other Missourians are doing the very same. When people ask, “Who are you fighting for?” I’m proud to say, I’m fighting for family.
