Lieutenant governor candidate to be in Joplin Saturday

Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor Dr. Sam Page is coming to Joplin, according to a news release from his campaign:


Dr. Sam Page, Democratic Candidate for Lieutenant Governor, will be in Joplin on Saturday morning to discuss his priorities as lieutenant governor and talk about honesty in campaigning. Page will be speaking at the Jack Lawton Webb Convention Center in Joplin at 9 a.m.

Last week, the Joplin Globe reported that Page's opponent mislead Joplin residents into believing the opponent was endorsed by Missouri Right to Life, a group that has said it will not endorse him. Page said he is committed to being honest with voters, even if he knows some may disagree with him.

Page is a three term state representative. He has served on the Missouri Senior RX Board since its inception seven years ago. He also sits on the Missouri Consolidated Healthcare Board.

Page has been a practicing medical doctor for nearly 20 years, helping seniors get the healthcare they need. He said he will be able to help more Missouri seniors gain access to affordable healthcare as lieutenant governor. Page lives in Creve Coeur, Mo., with his wife, Jenny and three children.
