Despite the odds stacked against him, Missouri Representative Brian Munzlinger has accepted the task of going head to head with current 18th District State Senator Wes Shoemyer in the upcoming election. Munzlinger, a resident of the rural community Williamstown, Missouri, has been a state representative since 2002. He is a third-generation farmer, a graduate of the University of Missouri, and a member of many agricultural organizations. Munzlinger is a member of the NRA and once worked as a rifle and pistol instructor for 4-H. He is a Second Amendment supporter and is also in favor of stronger immigration laws. He is firmly against the recent national healthcare bill, a stance in sync with Missourians who voted against Obamacare in August.

Although Shoemyer has held the Senate seat since 2007—and only one Republican has won the seat in the last 40 years—Munzlinger has the best chance of winning in a long time. His strong, rural background combined with his staunch position on issues (such as Obamacare) are points in his favor.
