VP Joe Biden

Vice President Joe Biden will be back in Missouri Thursday and Friday for the first time this year.  The Vice President visited both Columbia and Jefferson City during the 2008 campaign.

Biden will land at Whitman Air Force Base and have lunch with troops there before traveling to Jefferson City to discuss the stimulus package and what it means for companies like the ABB Transformer Factory.

Gov. Jay Nixon and Commerce Secretary Gary Locke will also be  joining Biden for the event in Jefferson City.  Those holding tea bags will be asked to leave them at the door.

Biden will conclude his visit to Missouri on Friday by visiting the University of Missouri-St. Louis to discuss college affordability. We are proud to have several of our local Democrats meet and participate in this educational forum and the other events closer to our area.
