Rod Jetton has started a campaign
analysis service designed to provide political observers with the in-depth
information needed to make informed decisions regarding Missouri elections.
JEFFERSON CITY, MO- The Missouri Political Bug, founded by Rod Jetton,
is a campaign analysis service covering Missouri House, Senate and statewide campaigns as
well as congressional politics, political developments and ballot initiatives
in Missouri. The Missouri Political Bug (MPB) is a
non-partisan service; it will neither endorse candidates nor advocate
positions on matters of public policy.
Redistricting has
dramatically changed the political landscape in Missouri. Recent court
challenges have compounded that change and have added to the uncertainty surrounding
the new legislative lines. Many state associations, lobbyists, corporate
industries, private donors, PAC’s, candidates, and partisan groups want to know
how the new districts will affect the 2012 elections. MPB has begun researching the voting
histories of these new districts. Now
that the maps have been finalized and filing has closed they will start
district visits, along with candidate interviews, to assess the upcoming
elections. MPB will then issue status
reports and predictions based on their analysis of the research.
Jetton stated, “The
goal of MPB will be to provide unbiased and objective information that will help
capitol observers reliably predict the winners of House, Senate and statewide campaigns
as well as ballot initiatives in Missouri.” He plans to accomplish this by
conducting exhaustive research on all Missouri candidates and their
campaigns. This research will cover the
key factors that effect political races, including: fundraising activities,
press relations, issue stances, grassroots organization and paid media efforts.
Jetton will be available
next Friday, March 30th to meet with members of the media and answer questions.
