Conservative Missouri Legislator Announces Bid for State Senate
House Leader Jeanie Riddle to Focus on Jobs, Education, and Protecting Family Values

Fulton- Missouri legislative leader, Rep. Jeanie Riddle, announced today her candidacy for State Senate District 7.

“My top priorities over my two terms in the legislature have been strengthening our education system, reducing the size of the government so businesses flourish, and protecting the sacred values of faith and family,” said Riddle. “My passion and commitment to serving my district in this manner was shaped by many things, including my 28 year career in the public education system. Also, as a mother and grandmother, I want to ensure the best possible future for my children and grandchildren. It has been an honor to serve the people of the 20th district as their elected representative, and I commit to bringing that same spirit of resolve as a State Senator.”

With a foundation of conservative values and a strong pro-business record, as well as her key leadership experience in the House, Riddle is well-prepared from day one to serve those living in the newly created Senate District that includes the counties of Callaway, Audrain, Lincoln, Montgomery, Pike, Ralls, and northern St. Charles.

As the mother of two grown children, I fully understand the miracle and gift of life. With my strong faith, conservative convictions and personal passion for children, no one will be a better advocate for the unborn. From conception to natural end, I am 100% pro-life and will continue to defend those values.

I am a strong advocate for 2^nd Amendment rights guaranteed by our Constitution. I have been a longtime Life Member of the National Rifle Association. I understand the fundamental right of law abiding citizens to keep and bear arms. In my first year in the Missouri Legislature I have worked hard to advance a pro 2^nd amendment agenda.

As a retired school teacher and coach, education is a top priority. It is the door to Missouri’s future. Every child should have access to a world class education. College and vocational schools must be affordable.

Jeanie has tirelessly fought for education, and will continue to do so as a leader in Missouri’s Legislature.

About Me: Representative Jeanie Riddle

Web Advisor — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 14:05:14 +0000

I am guided by the values that make Missouri strong; faith in God, love of family, and preservation of the freedoms our constitution guarantees.

I was born and raised with two brothers in Missouri. I attended Drury (College) University in Springfield where I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Education. My career began in St. Louis working for Southwestern Bell Telephone Company as an accounting department supervisor.

In 1977, my husband, Randy, and I moved to Callaway County. I served the community by teaching and coaching in the South Callaway School District for 28 years. My time as a teacher and coach provided an in-depth knowledge of education policy and a keen understanding of the needs of Missouri families. We raised our two children, Randee Rae and Thomas, in Callaway County who have both since married and are now expecting children of their own.

I learned the value of service to community, the ethics of hard work, and the importance of personal integrity from my parents. Those values have been reinforced throughout my life. In 2006, I retired from a successful career in education. Elected in November 2008, I am currently serving full-time to represent the citizens of District 20 in the Missouri House of Representatives.
