Republican Chris Koster: For Sale to Highest Bidder
Koster the Imposter's Voting Record
Where There’s Cash, There's Chris
There is nothing Democratic – or even remotely moderate – about Republican Chris Koster’s voting record. He championed hard-line Republican initiatives that hit Missouri families and hit them hard.
Actions speak louder than words, and there is nothing Koster the Imposter can say to excuse a record like this:
FACT
Koster supported Governor Blunt’s healthcare cuts that wiped out coverage for over 100,000 Missourians. These cuts included thousands of senior citizens, disabled, and children. (Source: SB 539)
Koster presided over Senate cloture during the Medicaid debate, refusing to recognize Democratic Senators and in so doing broke long standing Senate tradition. (Source: MO Senate Journal)
FACT
Koster supported the MOHELA sale which endangered the student loans for thousands of
Missouri students. (Source: SB 389)
Koster was one of 5 Republican signatories to block debate in the MO Senate. (Source: MO Senate Journal)
FACT
Koster voted for the Photo ID bill, which would have created an undue burden making it
difficult for Missouri seniors and disabled citizens to vote. This bill was signed by Gov. Matt Blunt and later declared unconstitutional by the Missouri Supreme Court. (Source: SB 1014)
Koster was one of the Republican signatories to block debate in the MO Senate. (Source: MO Senate Journal)
FACT
Koster voted to remove the voter-mandated campaign contribution limits. (Source: HB 1900)
