Congressman Blunt remains confident he has the support of his colleagues needed to win this race. He looks forward to wrapping up this campaign and getting to the important work on behalf of the American people that House Republicans do so well.

There is no question our margins are tight, and that's even more true in an election year when Democrats are increasingly united in their opposition.

Our confidence is growing because our list of supporters is growing.

Our policies have not changed. Congressman Blunt requires staff to attend regular ethics briefings and to adhere to the same strict policy to which he adheres.

Mr. Blunt wholeheartedly agrees that we need to regain the trust of the American people before we can press ahead with our results-oriented agenda. The majority of his colleagues agree he is the right person for the job. He looks forward to enacting tough new reforms and moving forward with a positive agenda focused on limited government, economic opportunity and national security.
