- "Kurt Schaefer is the true definition of a Pro-Life champion! He hasnât just talked the talk, but has walked the walk as well.

- "Spending is out of control in Washington DC! Kurt Schaefer knows that fact all too well. As the Missouri Senate Appropriations Chair, Schaefer pushed back against DC elites attempting to force their will on the people of Missouri. He cut over $1b from the budget in his first two years writing Missouriâs state budget, reformed Missouriâs welfare system, forced new accountability measures on Missouriâs bloated and out-of-control Medicaid program. Schaefer knows how to get spending under control. He did it in Missouri and he will do it in the US Congress." (schaeferforcongress.com)

- "The 2nd Amendment is non-negotiable! Many on the left have tried, and are continuing to try, to dismantle the 2nd Amendment one encroachment at a time. As your Congressman, Kurt Schaefer wonât stand for it. In the Missouri Senate, he helped pass some of the strongest, state level protections for the 2nd Amendment, and he will continue to stand strong against ANY effort to undermine your gun rights as your Congressman."

- "The unchecked surge of illegal immigration, caused entirely by Joe Bidenâs failed policies, has created a gateway for drugs and criminal activities to inundate our Southern Border. Rather than vilifying the dedicated individuals safeguarding our borders, itâs imperative to take decisive action to fortify our defenses. BUILDING THE WALL, increasing our border security personnel, and enhancing the enforcement of our immigration laws are paramount steps in safeguarding our nationâs integrity and security. As your Congressman, Kurt Schaefer will stand with President Trump to build the wall and eliminate illegal immigration entirely." (schaeferforcongress.com)
