Senator Rupp

May 4, 2006 - Representative/Senator-Elect Rupp became Senator Rupp. Great news as the Republican Senate number became 23 (although it did reduce the House Republican number to 96). Rupp will be an excellent Senator representing St. Charles and Lincoln County.

Rupp has shown his willingness to work well with others unlike his primary opponent. His work is punctuated by the low-key, easy going style - never having to be the center of attention (unlike his primary opponent) all the while getting things done (unlike his primary opponent), Rupp's recent appearance on Lou Dobbs not withstanding.

Rupp will be able to serve in the Senate for the remainder of this year and for two complete terms. We should not forget that he does have to dispatch one primary challenger which should be no problem given that challenger's record and his already once vanquished democrat opponent.
