JACK TRUMAN FOR CONGRESS
Missouri 4th Congressional District
Let's talk a little bit about Pulaski 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 Pulaki 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 Pulaski County. The total population here in Pulaski County is around 52,000 people. So it's very rural. Very small town and down home living. Good values. Good morals. Very down home.
Pulaski 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.
Pulaski County is in the Southcentral part of the state of Missouri. Not too far from my to my hometown area. And it's a very rural area, made up of 9 small towns and villages, 6 unincorporated communities and 22 townships. From where I live in Lamar, drive south on old highway 71 to Interstate 44, head east and drive towards. Very rural, and down home community.
A little bit about Pulaski county:
Pulaski County in Missouri started back in 1833.
It's the site of Ft. Leonard Wood, a large military base. In fact, the military community makes up a big portion of Pulaski County. Being an Army veteran, the military is a very personal issue to me. We have to have a strong military, and protect our veterans. So it's nice that a military base is in my District.
There's a lot of history behind Pulaski County. The county's earliest settlers were Native American tribes of Quapaw, Missouria and Osage. White settlers came to the area from Kentucky, Tennessee and the Carolinas in the 1800's.
There's a public airport in Pulaski County. The Waynesville Regional Airport is in Ft. Leonard Wood, but it's a public airport, even though it's on a military base.
The largest community in Pulaski County is Ft. Leonard Wood. But there's a total of 11 towns and communities that make up Polk County in Missouri:
Big Piney
Crocker
Devils Elbow
Dixon
Gascozark
Hooker
Lacquey
Richland
St. Robert
Swedeborg
Waynesville
I live in Barton County. Barton County in Missouri is a little west of Pulaski County. Very rural area.
A lot of issues that need to be addressed relate more than ever to small town rural America. And Pulaski 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.
