Webster County: Rural History, 14 Towns & Issues

JACK TRUMAN FOR U.S. CONGRESS
Missouri 4th Congressional District


Let's talk a little bit about Webster County.

I think it's important to bring something back to my home state here in Missouri. Where I grew up. Was raised. Went to school. Own property. And call home.

There's a lot to share about Webster County in Missouri. This is one of 26 counties in the 4th Congressional District of Missouri that I'm running for U.S. Congress in 2016.

You can't get much more rural and down home than in Webster County. The total population here in Webster County is around 36,000 people So it's very rural. Very small town and down home living. Good values. Good morals. Very down home.

Webster County is a great reflection of my campaign for Congress. Being small, rural and to your roots gives you the greater chance to speak your voice, sing your song and let people know about you. Being the underdog forces you to be self made. To have the discipline to be independent to make your destiny.

Webster County is in the southwest central part of the state of Missouri.  In the heart of the Ozarks. Close to my hometown area. Demographically, it's considered a part of the metropolitan area of Springfield. However, it's a very rural area, made up of  10 small towns. From where I live in Lamar, east on Highway 160 to the Springfield area. Once you hit Springfield, you just head a little east on Interstate 44 or old Highway 60, and you're in the county. Very rural, and down home community.

A little bit about Webster county:

Webster County in Missouri started back in 1855.

There's a lot of history: Civil War, Native American and Railroad history in Webster County. A historical area in our country.

The largest town in Webster County is Marshfield. But there's a total of 10 small towns and communities that make up Webster County in Missouri:

Diggins
Elkland
Fordland
Marshfield
Niangua
Northview
Redtop
Rogersville
Sampson
Seymour

I live in Barton County. Barton County in Missouri is a little west of Webster County. Very rural area.

A lot of issues that need to be addressed relate more than ever to small town rural America. And Webster County is no exception.

Taking care of our Farmers. Veterans. Senior Citizens. Children. Education. Health. Equality. The Second Amendment. Drug reform. Prisons, jails and the Criminal Justice system. Small business. The Homeless. Making our country great again. Taking care of our own here domestically, and focusing on the little man and woman. The rural communities are our roots. Where everything got started. There's no discipline anyone. This culture doesn't follow rules. It's time to get back to some basic hometown values and traditions.

I've worked all kinds of jobs from coast to coast.

Got to know all kinds of cultures over my life. From New York to California. Dallas to Chicago. Florida to Utah. All my life. From my childhood to present day.

I have a lifetime of experiences: from education, business, military, public speaking, rural and metropolitan, to creative and innovative experience.

In a nutshell, I've lived a life less traveled. And want to share my lifetime of experiences to make our country a better place. For everyone.

It's time for a radical change. It's time for outsiders who represent the little man and woman to be a part of our government. It's time to shake things up in Washington. It's time for a political revolution.

My name is Jack Truman. And I'm running for U.S. Congress in Missouri's 4th Congressional District.
