Kassoff,

The point being that the kid is the son of a multi millionaire. Therefore, we don’t know how much Roberts Jr. himself is actually worth, but it’s safe to assume that it’s a lot. There is nothing in MO campaign finance laws that stops a candidate from dropping as much of his or her own money into the war chest as they wish. As for the TV time, that can happen as well, through in kind donations fixed to make the value of the TV time comply with the reporting laws.

We can only expect greatness from Mike Roberts Jr. Its a bloodline that stretches back over 100 years of giving back to the community and being able to reach for the stars utilizing your own bootstraps. Inspite of the legacy that his family has developed and his future inheritance, young Roberts represent all that is promising for a better day for our children’s future. He will be running a campaign for change, for economic diversity, elimination of the causes of social pathological disorders and not against the incumbent. To this end, we should all recognize that Mike Roberts Jr. is a success story in his own right. Anyone that truly knows the hard fought battles of his uncle and father; also knows that Mike Jr. did not achieve his success just because of his last name, but because of what his family has instlled in him, what they stand for and what his family has done for others. His own sense of rightousness, community street credibility and personal courage of conviction will take him a long way to victory. Missouri will be proud to have him as a State Representative.

I am not from your state, and do not know incumbent Storch. But I do know Mike Sr. and Mike Jr., and cannot think of a more committed father-son team that is dedicated to serving its community. If Mike Jr. is able to continue at the same level of expeprtise and ennthusiasm in this new career in public service as he has done in the private sector, your district is in for a real treat.

This race will be about who best represents the District. If Storch has a successful record she can prove she should not be worried. The fact that she is the incumbent will be a disticnt advantage if she has served well. However, if she looks at Mike Jr. and realizes his history living in the District and bringing in a fresh positive point of view she could be in real trouble. I am encouraged that there is enough interest to motivate bright, inteeligen, qualified and committed fresh people to the table to make a difference. In both cases, bloodline counts, not for the money, but for the values that have been set their whole life. The benefit of this current election process is that more people are involved in the process and have relevant agendas.

Ok so we’re gonna elect a Billionaires son on a platform of economic diversity. I’m guessing we need more billionaires in the district. This is gonna be good - - break out the popcorn. In most cases candidates prove themselves at a lower level elected office.

And using the word “Bloodline” …. if we were buying a horse or at dog show, but come on.

If you are looking for a qualified, motivated individual who is passionate about his community look no further.
