STATEMENT

FROM BOB DIXON

Through the years, I have publicly spoken about being abused as a child and the
confusion this caused me as a teenager. There are literally thousands of Missourians
who will understand how heartbreaking childhood abuse can be- though few might be
willing to acknowledge it.
I have put the childhood abuse, and the teenage confusion behind me. What others
intended for harm has resulted in untold good. I have overcome, and will not allow evil
to win. From passing the Child Witness Protection Act, to protecting children from those
who would do harm to them from the shadows of the internet, and to reforming
Missouris Criminal Code- I have consistently worked to treat all people with respect,
understanding, and compassion, and to bring people together, not divide them.
There are people who to this day try to turn politics into a blood sport. This sort of
approach discourages many good people from public service. While it is disappointing, I
will have no fear of those who wish to tear down others for their gain. I will have no part
of it.
I began this campaign from my front porch surround by people I love and those who
know me best, my wife Amanda and our daughters. I told those gathered there that my
faith in an Almighty God who is full of love and compassion is at the core of all I do to
help others, and daily helps me to set the compass.
My faith in a loving and just God has helped to guide my approach with people. There
are those who constantly seek to divide us, but I am committed to renewing the Spirit of
Missouri and bringing people together with sensible conservative solutions.
