Sen. Denny Hoskins, R-Warrensburg, has won the GOP Primary for Secretary of State. He beat a crowded field of seven other Republican candidates to emerge victorious. Hoskins told Missourinet that he could not have done this without his supporters.
“It’s very humbling driving across the state and meeting new people that said they’ve been going door-to-door for me or they’re working the polls for me, or they walked in and prayed for me or seeing 4×8 signs go up across the state that I had no idea who put those up,” said Hoskins. “So, it’s been very humbling.”
I couldn’t have won without the strong grassroots support! Thank you!!! No city was too big or town too small to visit on my campaign. I look forward to touring this great State again before November 5! #moleg @MissouriGOP https://t.co/ZnnakM6gCT

The certified public accountant said that it’s the grassroots effort that resulted in him winning over seven other Republicans.
“I think my conservative message about saying that the most secure elections are in-person on election day with a photo ID and paper ballot and no, I don’t trust the election machines as well as defunding any public library that has X-rated material in the kid’s section, that really resonated with Missourians around the state,” he said.
Hoskins also supports a proposed constitutional amendment that would mandate that “only U.S. citizens” can vote in Missouri. Despite being illegal, he said that state law is a bit unclear.
“I think one of the biggest things that the Secretary of State’s office needs to help do is audit the voter rolls and compare the voter rolls without not only the death certificates that are issued in the state of Missouri to make sure dead people don’t vote in the state, but also compared with the list of illegals that are on the Department of Homeland Security List to make sure that we don’t have illegals that are registered to vote here in the state,” explained Hoskins.
He takes on Democrat Barb Phifer and Libertarian Carl Herman Freese in November.
