Race for 2010 begins
“My focus is on the family and the things that affect everyday people,” Dreyer said.
Dreyer, 39, earned her law degree from the University of Missouri. In St. Louis, she started her legal career working for the insurance industry, then switched to representing individual plaintiffs.
n Davis, of Webb City, said he has wanted to run for the Missouri House for years, but he never wanted to run against his friend, current 128th District Rep. Bryan Stevenson, R-Webb City. The district takes in part of Jasper County.
He is the owner of the Software Center in Joplin, and said he is passionate about helping small businesses.
“Economic development plays a crucial role,” Davis said. “If we don’t have jobs or small businesses, we fall.”
Davis, 43, served in the Navy before purchasing the Software Center in 1989. He announced his candidacy as a Republican earlier this year.
At least one other Republican has said he is considering a campaign, but Mark Kinsley, a talk-radio personality on KZRG-AM, said Wednesday that he is still undecided about a bid for the 129th District seat.
No Democrats
No Democrats have announced their candidacies for any offices so far, said Susan DeCarlo, chairwoman of the Jasper County Democratic Central Committee. She said she knows of a few potential names, but she declined to say who they are.
As for the lack of candidates compared with the Republican Party, DeCarlo said that’s “part and parcel” for the area, but that the election is still distant.
“We still have plenty of time,” she said. “I’m not worried about it yet. We are encouraging people to step forward and take them on.”
