State Rep., District 157 Candidate
NATHAN BOWEN (R)
Age: 35
Occupation: Independent Multiline Insurance Agent
Education: Graduated Pierce City High School 2003, Graduated MSSU, degree political science
Why should someone vote for you? I want to serve Lawrence County in more ways than one, as unusual a year this has been with businesses closing, people unemployed, county and state revenues are suffering. Why should a politician’s salary be immune to these hard times? It is my intention to contribute 25 percent of my annual salary to the county in which I represent. An independent board will be used to disburse this money to enable the completion of projects and facilitate growth.
 
State Rep., District 157 Candidate
WALLY LONG (R)
Age: 60
Occupation: Pastor, substitute teacher, retired federal correctional officer, Marine veteran.
Education: Currently working on a degree through Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.
Why should someone vote for you? The standard conservative answers to basic issues will be similar to the other two men in the race. I am pro-life. A strong supporter of the 2nd Amendment. I believe in limited government and less regulation. I support the Constitutions of the US and Missouri. I want strong public schools with more local control of our school districts and less control from Jefferson City and Washington DC.
