Henry County: Clinton, 11 Towns & the Issues

JACK TRUMAN FOR U.S. CONGRESS

Missouri 4th Congressional District

Let's talk a little bit about Henry 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 Henry 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 Henry County. The total population here in Henry County is around 22,000 people. So it's very rural. Very small town and down home living. Good values. Good morals. Very down home.

Henry 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.

Henry County is in the western part of the state of Missouri. It's about 50 miles or so north from home. I consider Henry County part of my big backyard. From where I live in Lamar, drive north on old Highway 71 to the Clinton exit, then drive on back roads to get to the towns in the district. Highway 7 and 13 take you through most of the county. Very rural, and down home community.

A little bit about Henry county:

Henry County in Missouri started back in 1834.

The county was named after Patrick Henry, who fought in the Revolutionary War.

The largest town in Henry County is Clinton. But there's 11 different towns and communities that make up Henry County in Missouri:

Blairstown
Brownington
Calhoun
Clinton
Deepwater
Hartwell
La Due
Montrose
Tightwad
Urich
Windsor

I live in Barton County. Barton County in Missouri is a little south of Henry County. Very rural area.

A lot of issues that need to be addressed relate more than ever to small town rural America. And Henry 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. 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.
