Congressman Blunt issues statement on his son's decision not to run for governor

Seventh District Congressman Roy Blunt issued the following statement following his son, Matt Blunt's deicsion not to run for a second term as governor:

I’m proud of the job Matt has done for our state. Under his leadership, Missouri went from a state that consistently lost jobs to a state that consistently created them – all while creating new opportunities for people of all walks of life. I respect his decision to spend this year being the best governor he can be in service of our state and its people, rather than letting the focus shift to pure politics.
