Susan Carlson for State Representative

We lost tonight. So proud of my team, supporters and volunteers, we couldn't have done this without you.

No matter how this race turns out, I'm proud that we ran a fact-based, issue oriented campaign free of personal attacks.

ONE HOUR! GO VOTE!

Only 5 hours left to vote! I'm first on the ballot, and there are no lines!

It's a special election, on a special day, starting at 6 a.m., vote for me today!

Whew. Our volunteers have contacted over 1,000 voters today alone - live. No robocalls here - only live contacts by our dozens of dedicated volunteers. And they're still making calls. And then up early tomorrow for election day. Please tell all of your friends in the new 87th District to vote tomorrow. See you at the polls.

Another full house of volunteers calling voters to remind them of the election tomorrow. So nice to have enough support to have real people who believe in what I've done calling voters and telling them why. Thank you to my many volunteers

Friends - much fiction being circulated about me (see previous post). Please share and send to friends in the 87th District to set the record straight. You know my deep commitment to the environment, women's issues and education among other. Mr priorities are clear -- I'm not about making headlines; I'm about making good policy for the people of this state. Please vote on Monday.

FACT CHECKING THE “FACT CHECKERS”
The so called “fact checks” recently circulated by my opponent contain more fiction than facts. Here are a few examples:
Safe Drinking Water Act (supported by Carlson, opposed by Newman). Insofar as the Act had anything to do with transport of radioactive waste, it continued the system of inspections and escorts previously in place, and merely changed the fee structure to charge fees on a per truck basis, rather than per cask. The Sierra Club and Missouri Department of Natural Resources were fine with these changes, as reported in the St. Louis Beacon (September 20, 2012). https://www.stlbeacon.org/ #!/content/27118/newman_carlson_election_dover?coverpage=1717
Public Schools. There is no stronger proponent of strong and fully funded public schools than me. I have favored allowing charter schools solely in unaccredited school districts, and only where they are subjected to stringent oversight. I voted against a bill that would have expanded charter schools beyond unaccredited districts. http://www.house.mo.gov/billtracking/bills121/jrnpdf/jrn073.pdf =63
For a more detailed discussion of my record and positions, further exposing the fiction in my opponent’s purported “fact checks,” see my web site, www.carlsonforstaterep.com.

Newman and Carlson's long, strange election to conclude on Monday State Reps. Susan Carlson and Stacey Newman are out of electoral limbo and back on the campaign trail. With a September 24 elect…

Thank you Gov. Nixon for recognizing my work defending the Missouri Human Rights Act last night.

Election day is on MONDAY. I hope to see you at the polls!

Remember: Vote for Carlson on MONDAY. Remember: The Special Election to send Susan Carlson back to Jefferson City as State Rep for the 87th District is this Monday, September 24th.

Great evening with MOLLI's List, which is all about electing progressive Democratic women to the state legislature. Joan Lipkin put together a stellar program of music, poetry, dance and humor about the war on women's rights. Glad to see so many women and men standing up. That's why I am running.
