Seitz endorsed by two local organizations

State Representative Brian Seitz has been endorsed recently by two local organizations in his bid for reelection for the office of Missouri State Representative for District 156.

 

The Song of Hope Movement and the Branson Professional Firefighters Local 152 have both endorsed Seitz in his campaign.

 

Of the endorsement from the Firefighters, Seitz said, "It is an honor to receive the endorsement of Branson Professional Firefighters Local 152 for my reelection campaign. I have long been a fervent supporter of our firefighters and other first responders, and this is an endorsement that truly means a lot to me. When I came into the House, one of the first pieces of legislation I authored was a bill to get PTSD recognized as an occupational disease in first responders for workers' compensation purposes. This critical legislation had never made it to the House Floor, let alone out of the House, and was consistently stalled by lobbyists. I took on the task, got the bill through the committee and got it on the Floor agenda. On the day that I was told the bill would be heard, the lobbyists started working to stall it. Not to be outdone, I stood for four hours with my hand raised until I was called upon and we got the bill passed out of the House for the first time ever. My tenacity when advocating for our first responders and the citizens of the 156rh District is second to none. I won't give up. I won't be outworked, and I will always fight hard for my constituents."

 

The Song of Hope Movement, founded by Branson's Marshall Howden, has also endorsed Seitz in his reelection bid.

 

Said Howden, "Our mission is to preserve the history of Branson’s live music show industry while assisting its advancement into the future. Brian's unwavering commitment to this mission and Branson's live music show industry is unmatched. From his early days as the publisher of Music Country News, Brian has been a steadfast supporter and promoter of our city's vibrant entertainment scene. As the Chair of the House Special Committee on Tourism, he has consistently championed initiatives that recognize and preserve Branson's rich musical heritage. His dedication is evident through his sponsorship of the bill designating Branson as the "Live Entertainment Capital of Missouri," a testament to his understanding of our city's critical role in the state's tourism industry. Furthermore, Brian played a pivotal role in securing $6.2 million for the 76 CID, ensuring that the iconic 76 Country Boulevard remains a premier entertainment destination for the Ozarks generations into the future."

"Brian Seitz's reelection will continue to bring strong, effective representation for our industry. The Song of Hope Assembly stands with him, confident that his reelection will further advance our shared mission of preserving and promoting Branson's live music legacy. We urge the voters of the 156th District to support Brian Seitz for another term," Howden added.

Seitz expressed his gratitude to both organizations for their endorsements and asks you to join them in voting Seitz for State Representative on August 6.
