Sample Letter Title:

Chris Koster is the right choice for governor

Sample Text:

  • The election is right around the corner, and I can’t help but think about all that is at stake this year. Working people know that the path to prosperity starts with electing candidates like Chris Koster who support a raising wages agenda.

  • We have the opportunity to win equal pay, paid leave, fair scheduling and higher wages. We are also on the verge of beating back bad trade deals like the Trans-Pacific Partnership that harm our communities. That is why Chris Koster is the right choice for governor of Missouri.

  • In Missouri, we have been hard hit by the economic downturn. Chris Koster has put forth an agenda that aligns with the working people’s agenda.

  • Chris Koster has a plan to send kids to college, ensure women earn equal pay and raise the minimum wage so that working people don’t live in poverty. He also will keep Missouri from becoming a “right to work” state.

  • Voting is a right, and it’s a central part of our democracy. This year, with so much at stake, it is critical that we get out to vote and elect Chris Koster who stands with working families and will not let us down.
