State treasurer endorses Kander for secretary of state

Not that there's any surprise in this, but State Treasurer Clint Zweifel has endorsed Rep. Jason Kander, D-Kansas City, for secretary of state.

State Treasurer Clint Zweifel announced today that he is endorsing Jason Kander to be Missouri’s next Secretary of State.

“Now more than ever we need elected officials that understand and appreciate what public service is all about,” Zweifel said. “Jason Kander has never been afraid to step in and make a difference. I’m confident he’ll bring the same dedication to this office and will make an outstanding Secretary of State.”

Clint Zweifel was elected State Treasurer in 2008 after serving three terms in the Missouri legislature. Since taking office, Zweifel led the charge to pass bipartisan legislation that gives Missourians a fair return on their state deposits through free market competition. This has allowed Clint to reinvest in Missouri communities and assist farmers and small businesses across the state.

“Since day one Treasurer Zweifel has focused on running an efficient and effective office that respects taxpayers’ money, while helping to create jobs across Missouri,” Kander said. “His no-nonsense approach of checking politics at the door has delivered real and meaningful results for Missouri families. I’m honored to have Treasurer Zweifel’s support and I look forward to campaigning with him during the upcoming election cycle.”
