It’s just not possible to reach everyone, and that’s why this is a standard metric used by state elected offices.” “Vote frequency is a good way to gauge whether or not an individual is civically active. “As a result, I routinely direct official mail toward frequent voters – both Republicans and Democrats – because I want to reach constituents who are actively involved in government and aware of political issues,” Brattin said. In a statement to The Independent, Brattin said he was forced to be selective about where to send the postcards in order to stay within his office mailing budget of $20,000. It is entirely within the 24-county 4th Congressional District, and his home county, Cass, has the largest share of Republican primary voters. But it was redrawn down to just three – Cass, Bates and Johnson counties. īrattin’s state Senate d istrict in 2020 covered the five counties targeted by the mailers. In the 2020 primary, when Brattin was nominated for his Senate seat, 78% of voters were Republicans. A third, which features a photo of Brattin superimposed over an image of the border wall championed by former President Donald Trump, was sent to voters who had taken part in all four elections. Two of the cards – one highlighting Brattin’s support for a bill requiring a photo ID to vote and another focused on education bills he sponsored – went to people in the 31st Senate District who had voted in three of the most recent elections, meaning they had voted in at least one primary. The Senate maintains mailing lists of registered voters and how frequently they vote in the partisan elections that select the chamber. Missouri has two partisan elections – a primary and general – every two years. The details in the records that make it seem like the cards were aimed more at promoting Brattin than conveying information, Haggard said, involve formatting, the amount of work on small details like photos and the intended audience. Vicky Hartzler, the incumbent, is vacating the seat to run for U.S. Other candidates in the race are Mark Alford, a retired Kansas City television newscaster Kalena Bruce, a farmer and accountant from Stockton Bill Irwin, a retired Lee’s Summit police officer Kyle Stonner LaBrue of Osage Beach and Jim (Soupy) Campbell of Climax Springs. “I am getting campaign material that looks just like that from everybody else.” “I essentially thought I was getting campaign material from Rick,” Haggard said. Haggard, who supports former Boone County Clerk Taylor Burks in the GOP primary, says she filed Sunshine Law requests with the state Senate and Brattin’s office after receiving the mailers. Post Office included in the records show. The 74,000 postcards cost $20,150 to mail, invoices from the U.S. The mailers are being painted by his opponents as Brattin using his official office to bolster his campaign for Congress. Missouri Senate records obtained through a Sunshine Law request by Vernon County Republican Party Chairwoman Cyndia Haggard and provided to The Independent detail the development of the mailers which have become a point of criticism for Brattin by his rivals in the seven-way 4th Congressional District GOP primary.
