Dear Robert,

After months of uncertainty but over a year of preparation, Congressman Russ Carnahan is confident that his reelection campaign is in a strong position to win the upcoming August 7th primary.

Missouri’s 1st Congressional District

The Missouri Supreme Court recently finalized the Congressional Districts (CDs).  The new 1st CD merges parts of three old districts into one new strong Democratic district. Congressman Carnahan’s current 3rd CD represents more of St. Louis City than Congressman Clay’s current 1st CD and with close to 60% of 2010 St. Louis City primary voters coming out of the old 3rd CD makes this favorable to Congressman Carnahan. (See attached Map of New District)

The Facts

·         Congressman Carnahan has outraised Congressman Clay over 2-to-1 during the 2012 cycle.  He has raised over $1 million and has a CoH advantage going into the final months of the campaign.

·         Congressman has received financial support and endorsements from numerous groups of diversified areas of interest. When the “endorsement” process has allowed the voters to participate so far, Congressman Carnahan has been the overwhelming choice in Democratic committee after committee.

·         Congressman Carnahan is battle tested.  He is well known for his strong grassroots organizing and winning tough races like the 10-way primary election in 2004 and more recently in the 2010 general election during the tea party tidal wave.

·         Congressman Carnahan is a leader in Congress.  He is a senior Democratic whip for Rep. Steny Hoyer and currently sits on three committees that include Transportation and Infrastructure, Veteran Affairs and Foreign Affairs.   He also serves as co-chair of two active bi-partisan caucuses, High Performance Building Caucus and Intelligent Transportation Systems Caucus.

The Truth

This could have been avoided.  Congressman Carnahan stood up and fought for three whole fair districts that the St. Louis region population deserved. He did this against great odds against the Republican controlled legislature that was helped by Congressman Clay and his allies, in an effort to make a politically comfortable seat for himself.
