Tweets suggested by Speaker Pro Tem focus criticism on Nixon

by  • 

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Missouri House Speaker Pro Tem Denny Hoskins, R-Warrensburg, is urging his lawmakers to tighten up their messaging as they move into an election year and go head-to-head with Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon.

Part of that, his office said in a memo obtained by PoliticMo, is targeted Tweets.

“As promised the Pro Tem office is working hard to stay on top of messaging for this session,” a Hoskins aide wrote in a memo to Republican lawmakers and staff. “Attached you will find a sample press release as well as some tweets for you to use and edit as you see fit.”

Six of the suggested Tweets were critical of Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon.

It’s hard to attract new business to MO when @GovJayNixon consistently says NO to policies creating a vibrant business environment in MO

I am committed to pushing back against @GovJayNixon and his refusal to lower taxes and create a vibrant business environment in MO #moleg

 

Missourians want to see #moleg pass sweeping tax reform by lowering business taxes prevent @GovJayNixon’s selective support of tax credits

Surrounding states lowered taxes& @GovJayNixon expanded gov spending&failed entitlement programs. I’m here to fight back&fight for MO #moleg

Despite a lack of executive leadership in MO, I am committed to making MO better & representing your interests here in Jeff City #moleg

Another couple focused on the ‘4G’ agenda proposed by House Speaker Tim Jones, R-Eureka.

This year MOLeg is committed to creating Growth for Missouri, Guaranteeing Good Education, Generating affordable energy & Guarding MO values

This session I hope to help clear the way for MO businesses and MO citizens to succeed and create growth in the state #moleg #97th

And others were just bland.
