Nauser turns eye toward contest with Kelly for seat in Missouri House
Laura Nauser, who currently represents Columbia's Fifth Ward in the City Council, is running unopposed in the Republican primary for the 24th district seat in Missouri House of Representatives.
With an eye toward her November contest with incumbent Democrat Rep. Chris Kelly, Nauser said she will now focus on going door-to-door and meeting constituents to hear their concerns. She told us tonight why she thinks MU students should vote for her in the fall.
"I think students should vote for me because I am a continuing student — I graduated in 2004 and have a unique perspective having been in school in such a late part in my career," she said in a phone interview Tuesday. "I think college tuition and making sure that Missouri students have an opportunity to obtain the best education possible so that they can compete globally. My son will be graduating high school in a couple of years, so I will be looking at that tuition bill."
