2015 was a year that showed—even in a time when gridlock and paralysis seems like the norm in Congress—Claire gets things done for Missouri.
What did a year of action look like for Claire? It looked like…
Serving as an independent voice for Missouri…
1. Was ranked among the most independent Senators in likelihood to vote against her own party
Expanding job opportunities for Missourians…
2. Capping a two-year effort, successfully passed into law bipartisan legislation to boost job opportunities by reforming federal permitting—a plan praised by the Missouri and U.S. Chambers of Commerce as “a real breath of fresh air for infrastructure around the country”
Protecting Missouri consumers…
4. Announced a bipartisan Senate investigation into pharmaceutical drug pricing, following a series of dramatic drug price increases, and co-chaired the first in a series of hearings on dramatic drug price increases
Listening to Missourians and bringing their feedback to the Senate…
5. Launched a Missouri Agriculture Tour to farms, ranches, research facilities, and energy producers across the state that help make up Missouri’s vibrant agriculture economy—and held a series ofSenior Listening Sessions in communities across Missouri to hear directly from seniors on issues facing older Americans
