A west-central Missouri congressman who represents part of Columbia as well as Centralia, Hallsville and Harrisburg on Capitol Hill is seeking a third term in November.
U.S. Rep. Mark Alford (R-Raymore) touts his constituent service work and says he serves as a megaphone to every Missourian in the sprawling Fourth District.
Congressman Alford faces Air Force veteran Jordan Herrera next week. Herrera says priorities include lowering the cost of living and rebuilding the middle class, saying dignity should be affordable.
