Welcome to my campaign blog. My name is Jacob Turk, your Republican candidate to defeat Emanuel Cleaver and represent your views in Congress from the 5 th District of Missouri. Over the coming weeks, I hope you will visit my website often as we add the answers to your questions about my stances on the essential issues of this campaign. Just as significant, we will also be posting my proposed solutions that address these important issues in a manner that moves the citizens of the 5 th District and our country forward.
