With the session of state government nearing the end, and the weather turning favorable for travel, Senator Denny Hoskins, R-Warrensburg, has seen a steady increase in visitors to his Capitol office.
According to a release from his office, Hoskins says he had the pleasure of meeting with several groups of constituents who stopped by to discuss pending legislation and issues of importance to them. Among those visiting from the district this week were Burns and McDonnell International President Michael Brown and Senior Vice President Ron Coker, who came by to talk about economic development. Other visitors included Stephany Bening, of Raymore, who shared her concerns about distracted driving and the fatal and destructive impact it has on the citizens of Missouri.
Hoskins says he welcomed delegations representing various youth and citizen groups. Members of the Chillicothe FFA chapter were among the many young people in blue corduroy jackets who packed the halls of the Capitol as part of Farm Bureau Youth Leadership Day. Students from the Carrollton R-VII School District also were in the Capitol as part of a career development conference through the Job for America’s Graduates program. And, Hoskins says he had the honor of introducing firefighters from Chillicothe in the Senate chamber.
Hoskins says, “These brave first responders were here in observance of the 50th anniversary of the Missouri Division of Fire Safety.”
There aren’t many weeks left to witness the Legislature in action this year. The 2022 session is scheduled to end on May 13, and the last day senators are permitted to introduce guests in the chamber is April 28. If you’re thinking about coming to Jefferson City to watch the proceedings, you’ll want to do that soon.
Hoskins says, “I enjoy meeting with people from the district and encourage everyone to stop by my office when they’re at the Capitol. As always, I appreciate hearing your comments, opinions and concerns. Please feel free to contact me in Jefferson City at (573) 751-4302. You may also email me at denny.hoskins@senate.mo.gov.”
