Scott Largent of Clinton files for Missouri State Senate

Clinton, MO – State Representative Scott Largent, R-Clinton, filed for the 31st Senatorial District on Tuesday in Jefferson City. The newly drawn 31st Senatorial District is comprised of Barton, Bates, Cass, Henry, St. Clair and Vernon counties.

Largent has been a small business owner for nearly a decade and knows what it takes to create jobs in a tough economic climate. Largent has been serving as State Representative for the 120th District since being elected in 2008. He has been appointed the Chairman of the Children and Families Committee and Vice Chairman of the Banking and Financial Institutions Committee. He also serves on the Veterans Committee and is a member of the Missouri Military Preparedness and Enhancement Commission. Largent is also a strong supporter of pro-life, pro-agriculture and pro-2nd Amendment issues.

Largent, a common-sense conservative, has also announced that Gene Molendorp of Cass County will be serving as Campaign Co-Chairman of Largent’s Senate Campaign Committee. “I am overwhelmed by the amount of support I have already received,” Largent said. “With people like Gene Molendorp coming on board we are building a strong team of supporters from the six-county district.”

“Scott Largent is exactly the kind of leader we need fighting for us in the State Senate,” State Representative Chris Molendorp said. “I am proud to support Scott’s candidacy because of his commitment to the commonsense values we share.”

State Senator David Pearce, R-Warrensburg, State Senator Mike Parsons, R-Bolivar, State Representative Chris Molendorp, R-Belton, State Representative Rick Brattin, R-Harrisonville, State Representative Mike McGhee, R-Odessa, State Representative Sandy Crawford, R-Buffalo, have all endorsed Scott Largent for State Senate.

“Missouri needs leaders like Scott with real-world business experience to help get our economy back on track and our people back to work,” Senator Mike Parson said.

Largent and his wife Leslie have been married for 19 years and have three children, Jesse, Taylor and Seth. Largent earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice Administration and his Master’s Degree in Public Services Administration from the University of Central Missouri. Largent served as a Police Officer 1991-1999; was elected Henry County Coroner in 2004.
