"Give 'Em Hell" Express to arrive in Joplin Sunday

Democratic attorney general candidate Jeff Harris' "Give 'Em Hell Harris" campaign tour will be in Joplin Sunday night, according to a news release from the Harris campaign:

Representative Jeff Harris today announced his plans for an ambitious 72-hour campaign tour that will take him to every corner of the state in the campaign's final days. Dubbed the Give 'Em Hell Harris Tour, the non-stop campaign swing kicks off with a send-off event at Harris' campaign headquarters in Columbia, before officially beginning the 72-hour countdown to Election Day in Moberly.

Jeff Harris has run an aggressive campaign in the Democratic race for Attorney General, and he said that his tour in the closing days will be no exception. He also pointed to the major swing in momentum toward his campaign as evidenced by major endorsements, a lead the in polls, and a dramatic upsurge in fundraising.

"We have campaigned hard for every vote in every corner of the state, and we're going to finish this race working for the support of everyday Missourians in small towns and big cities alike," said Harris. "Missourians want an Attorney General who will be their voice and who they can count on to stand up to the special interests. This tour is one more example we can offer the voters of just how hard I am willing to fight for them."

To promote the Give 'Em Hell Harris Tour, the campaign also unveiled a new website - www.GiveEmHellHarris.com, which features an interactive map with the schedule and live updates that Harris will post via the social networking site Twitter.com. Additionally, Harris' campaign invites supporters to caravan with the candidate as he travels the state.


Harris will be at the Golden Corral, 2415 S. Rangeline, Joplin, 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 2, and in Springfield for a rally at IBEW Local, 2901 E. Division, from 9 to 10 p.m.
