“We must focus on creating new jobs in Missouri’s 4th District by building on the businesses already here, attracting new industries and supporting our agricultural base. We should have the good-paying jobs of the new century right here in our own communities so we aren’t just educating our kids to leave home for jobs in St. Louis, Chicago or Denver.” – Ike Skelton
Ike Skelton has championed job creation and economic development in the communities of Missouri’s 4th Congressional District, having served as chairman of the U.S. House Small Business Subcommittee on Procurement, Tourism and Rural Development and the Congressional Rural Caucus.
