Bates County: Butler, Rich Hill, Adrian and Local Villages

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


There's no place like home.

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

There's a lot of history here in Bates County 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 here in Bates County. The total population here in Bates County is a little over 16,000 people. And it feels like everyone's right here in your backyard. Good morals. Good values. Good small town living.

A little history and facts about Bates county:

Bates County Missouri started back in 1841.

Butler is the largest town. But there's 15 local towns, villages and what's called 'unincorporated communites'. And 24 townships.

The history that Bates County is most known for is their involvement in the Civil War. With what was called the Battle of Island Mound.

Several towns, villages and what they call unincorporated towns make up Barton County in Southwest Missouri:

Towns:

Adrian
Amoret
Amsterdam
Butler
Drexel
Rich Hill
Rockville
Hume

Villages:

Foster
Merwin
Passaic

Unincorpated Communities:

Ballard
Papinville
Pleasant Gap
Prairie City

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

Taking care of our Farmers. Veterans. Senior Citizens. Children. Health. Equality. The Second Amendment. 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. And it's time to get back to some basic hometown values and traditions.

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 governement. It's time to shake things up in Washington. It's time for a political revolution.
