It will be my honor to begin the discussion with an update on current legislation and other news from the Senate, and then open the floor for questions and comments.

These events are especially important because they give me the opportunity to communicate directly with the constituents of District 8. They are also great for keeping the community up to date on legislation and really gives me an insight into your thoughts and how I can better serve you.

District 8 Day

 

I would like you to be my guest for District 8 Day at the Capitol on March 26. District Day in Jefferson City is another way that I like to communicate with constituents. During the course of the day, you will be able to tour the Capitol Building, the Governor’s Mansion and the Supreme Court. You will also have the chance to visit the floor of the Missouri Senate, and I will be available at that time for a question-and-answer session. 

Spots are limited, so please let me know as soon as possible if you can attend. To RSVP you may call my office or you can simply reply to this e-mail with your name, physical address, and number attending in your group. You will be responsible for your own transportation to Jefferson City and lunch.  Please consider coming – it is a great opportunity to learn more about your Missouri state government.

Please feel free to contact the 8th Senatorial District’s Capitol office with any questions or concerns at any time. We look forward to hearing your comments and suggestions and trying to answer any questions you may have. You can reach us by phone at 573-751-1464, or e-mail at will.kraus@senate.mo.gov.
