Akin was sworn in to the 107th Congress on Wednesday, January 3. The F-18 is manufactured in the Second Congressional District of Missouri by Boeing.
Small business forms the backbone of our local economy.
Repeal of the death tax, access to health care, and regulatory relief are important items I hope the 107th Congress addresses. Finally, Rep. Akin was appointed to the House Science Committee. Our region is a dynamic one where high technology and scientific discovery employ thousands of people and improve millions of lives. I look forward to this opportunity to serve.
