Welcome to the Clay Campaign!

Since you first elected me as your Congressman, I’ve fought hard to be a strong voice for Missouri’s 1st Congressional District and the entire St. Louis region. I never forget the working families; seniors, lower income citizens and young people who expect me to stand up for the things that really matter to them. My legislative priorities focus on four key building blocks that create stronger communities: jobs, education, healthcare and housing.

I’m also working to make American stronger and safer. The Bush administration and the Republican congressional leadership have failed to close the Homeland Security gap. And as a result, we are still vulnerable to attack. We need to act now to make our ports, air cargo, nuclear plants and transportation systems much more secure, before it’s too late. These are difficult and dangerous times that require strong, honest leadership…not more failed policies and incompetence. With your help, our new Democratic majority will act to keep America safe without trampling on the constitutional rights that we all cherish.

Being from Missouri, I have always admired President Harry Truman. He was fond of saying that, “Politicians need to remember that we’re just the hired help.” I want to assure you, that I never forget who hired me to do this job. It’s a high honor to represent you in Washington. And I hope that I can earn your vote in 2008 to continue to fight for what really matters to you and your family.

Thank you for all your help and support, and I hope you enjoy our website.

Sincerely,

Lacy Clay
