Former President Donald J. Trump categorically announced that Rep. Vicky Hartzler (R-MO) will not be receiving his endorsement for U.S. Senate in Missouri.“You can forget about Vicky Hartzler for Senate from the Great State of Missouri,” Trump began in an emphatic post on Truth Social. “She called me this morning asking for my Endorsement, much as she has on many other occasions.”He continued: I was anything but positive in that I don’t think she has what it takes to take on the Radical Left Democrats, together with their partner in the destruction of our Country, the Fake News Media and,...

Rep. Vicky Hartzler, R-Mo., responded to a recent Kansas City Star article appearing to link her faith to "White Christian nationalism," which the congresswoman said tried to make her look like a "radical." The Missouri lawmaker is running for Sen. Roy Blunt's open seat in Missouri’s crowded GOP primary this August and was the subject of story titled, "Running God's way: Can Vicky Hartzler's 'conservative biblical values' win a Senate seat?" The article was published by the KC Star on Easter Sunday. Reporter Daniel Desrochers suggested Hartzler's Christian views about returning the country to its traditional values mirrored "White Christian...

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) bluntly told scandal-ridden former Gov. Eric Greitens (R-MO), who is running for the US Senate, that he should be in handcuffs following a court filing by his ex-wife who is accusing him of spousal and child abuse. “If you hit a woman or a child, you belong in handcuffs, not the United States Senate,” Hawley asserted. “It’s time for Eric Greitens to leave this race.” Hawley has endorsed Rep. Vicky Hartzler (R-MO) for the Senate seat. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) endorsed Missouri state Attorney General Eric Schmitt (R). Greitens is currently the front-runner for the GOP’s...

The U.S. Navy turned down the application of an atheist chaplain to serve in the Navy Chaplain Corps. The move comes after 43 members of Congress signed a letter warning that the very definition of what it means to be a chaplain is at stake. Colorado Rep. Doug Lamborn (R) and Missouri Rep. Vicky Hartzler (R) explained in a joint statement on Wednesday that the Navy made the right call in turning down the appointment of Dr. Jason Heap, the national coordinator for the United Coalition of Reason based in Washington, D.C., who first made the attempt under the Obama...

(ACN) Rep. Vicky Hartzler (R-MO) recently told audience members at a town hall meeting that she has "doubts" that Barack Obama's birth certificate is authentic, but when pressed, she pivoted and claimed that Barack Obama's eligibility to hold office under the Constitution of the United States, is not "the real issue."

WASHINGTON, D.C. (May 20, 2011) — Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, is expressing disappointment with President Obama’s proposal for Israel to return to its pre-1967 borders. “President Obama’s call for Israel to make more sacrifices in the pursuit of peace in the Middle East is unacceptable,” said Hartzler. “The borders that were established in 1967 followed three wars launched against Israel. The territory acquired by the Israelis after they were subjected to unprovoked attacks serves as a buffer between Israel and enemies intent on destroying her.”

FORT LEONARD WOOD, Mo. (Dec. 1, 2010) — Incoming Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler, a Republican who defeated House Armed Services Committee Chairman Rep. Ike Skelton, toured Fort Leonard Wood on Tuesday, following up on an earlier tour of Whiteman Air Force Base. Speaking to local business leaders at Tuesday night’s Committee of Fifty meeting, Maj. Gen. David Quantock said he believed the tour went well. “We had a great chairman here. Ike Skelton served his great country for 34 years and he’s got a little bit of time left. We can’t ever replace him and we can’t thank him enough for...

PULASKI COUNTY, Mo. (Nov. 2, 2010) — Campaign staff for Republican congressional candidate Vicky Hartzler have joined in the criticism of a decision by local Democrats to ask the Waynesville and Saint Robert police for an escort for a political parade through the two cities on Saturday. In a press release issued Tuesday by Hartzler spokesman Steve Walsh, officials for the candidate seeking to unseat Congressman Ike Skelton noted that “Democrat Party officials in Pulaski County are now in trouble for using police officers to stage an unauthorized parade on behalf of Ike Skelton and another Democrat Party candidate last...

PULASKI COUNTY, Mo. (Nov. 3, 2010) — A red tide of Republicans swept out Pulaski County Presiding Commissioner Don McCulloch, State Sen. Frank Barnitz, and Congressman Ike Skelton Tuesday night. While Pulaski County was once a Democratic stronghold, last night’s election results showed that most Republicans won by large margins, in some cases by a three-to-one split.“What we’re seeing across the county is not just a wave but a tsunami,” said Andy Bobbitt, president of the Pulaski County Democratic Club. Only Circuit Court Clerk Rachelle Beasley, a Waynesville Democrat, escaped the deluge and won re-election. The other Democrat to gain...

LAQUEY, Mo. (Oct. 30, 2010) — With the major exception of the Missouri Farm Bureau, many organizations which typically endorse conservative Republican candidates for office have endorsed Congressman Ike Skelton for years despite him being a Democrat. That includes right to life and veterans organizations, as well as the National Rifle Association; the Farm Bureau had endorsed Skelton for 14 years until this election. However, the NRA endorsement of Skelton over his Republican challenger, Vicky Hartzler, has become a point of controversy this year. Skelton has severely attacked Hartzler for opposing a 1998 proposal to place concealed carry permits on...

LAQUEY, Mo. (Oct. 30, 2010) — Republican congressional candidate Vicky Hartzler earned her reputation as a Christian conservative during a successful statewide campaign in 2004 in which voters decided by a 71 percent margin to amend the state constitution to bar gay marriage. She’s been blasted by a national liberal magazine which asked if she is the “most anti-gay candidate in America,” and conservative Christian themes were brought up several times during her Saturday morning veterans rally at VFW Post 3168 next to the Laquey ambulance base. Hartzler attacked incumbent Congressman Ike Skelton for his role as chairman of the...

LAQUEY, Mo. (Oct. 30, 2010) — About two dozen fired-up supporters of Vicky Hartzler converged Saturday morning on VFW Post 3168 next to the Laquey ambulance base to hear their candidate explain why she believes it’s necessary to oust U.S. Rep. Ike Skelton, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee. Retired school superintendent David Dicke introduced Hartzler while wearing an “Ike Take a Hike” button, which he said is available for purchase from the Camden County Republican Party. Dicke predicted a Hartzler victory, and Hartzler herself said that’s important to get back on the right track. “I really believe that...

PULASKI COUNTY, Mo. (Oct. 29, 2010) — A new poll commissioned by a Springfield-area television station and Missouri State University in Springfield shows U.S. Rep. Ike Skelton up by 7 percentage points over his Republican challenger, former State Rep. Vicky Hartzler. The poll attributes Skelton’s rise to concerns over the future of Fort Leonard Wood, and both candidates will hold campaign rallies in the Fort Leonard Wood area today and tomorrow. According to the poll’s director, Missouri State University Professor Brian Calfano, Skelton’s lead in a bad year for Democrats is due to “three words: Fort Leonard Wood ... Skelton's...

PULASKI COUNTY, Mo. (Oct. 26, 2010) — Staff members for Vicky Hartzler’s congressional campaign to unseat U.S. Rep. Ike Skelton announced Monday that they’ve appointed three Fourth District residents, including Dixon rancher Charles Bassett, to serve as leaders of the campaign’s “Farmers and Ranchers Coalition.” Other members are Brent Heid of Hartzler’s hometown of Harrisonville and Dwayne Schad of Versailles. Bassett, who is the father-in-law of State Rep. David Day of Dixon and a relative of incoming county clerk Brent Bassett, has run a cow-calf operation for nearly 50 years, has known Hartzler for nearly a decade, and was an...

(Oct. 25, 2010) — Republican Congressional candidate Vicky Hartzler has clearly identified herself for many years as an evangelical Christian, dating back to her days in the state legislature from 1995 to 2000 and then as a spokeswoman for the successful 2004 campaign to amend the Missouri state constitution to ban gay marriage. While Hartzler’s opponent, 17-term U.S. Rep. Ike Skelton, has attacked Hartzler on numerous issues, he’s avoided her religious beliefs and church affiliation. Others have been less restrained. In recent weeks, some journalists have asked if Hartzler will be the young “David” to defeat the powerful “Goliath” of...

(Oct. 25, 2010) — U.S. Rep. Ike Skelton’s campaign has been running advertisements accusing his Republican challenger, former State Rep. Vicky Hartzler, of being “way too nasty.” At a Pulaski County Republican Party event, Hartzler said Skelton’s campaign ads made her “look like the Antichrist.” While Hartzler has strongly protested what she views as misleading and sometimes outright false attacks by Ike Skelton, it’s not the first time she’s been a target of negative campaigning. In her book, “Running God’s Way; Step by Step to a Successful Political Campaign,” she recounts an experience in her 1996 re-election campaign when her...

(Oct. 23, 2010) — While it wasn’t mentioned at the Pulaski County “Veterans for Vicky” rally because speaker Bill Rostad isn’t a Veterans of Foreign Wars member, the VFW endorsement of U.S. Rep. Ike Skelton being widely publicized by his campaign has come under significant attack by the campaign of his Republican challenger, Vicky Hartzler, and by some members of the VFW itself. Candidates, including Skelton, often state that they’ve been “endorsed by the VFW,” “endorsed by the National Rifle Association,” or by other similar organizations, but the VFW and NRA are nonprofit 501(c)3 tax-exempt organizations which can’t explicitly endorse...
