One of Missouri’s leading lawmakers in Washington, D.C., wants to see New York Senator Hillary Clinton as our next President.

West-Central Missouri Congressman Ike Skelton (D-MO), one of the superdelegates to the Democratic National Convention, says he will back Clinton because of what he calls her support for "rural America, her commitment to National Security, and her dedication to our men and women in uniform."

Skelton is the Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee.
