Missouri's position strong in national politics after 2002 electionThe votes have been counted, andvoters have made their decisions in races across Missouri. After a long night of watching election returns, Rick Hardy, a University of Missouri-Columbia associate professor of political science, believes that Missouri will be well-positioned in national politics in the future.
Hardy, an expert in American government, public policy analysis, public administration, and constitutional law and judicial behavior, has taught political science at MU since 1978. He is a member of the American Political Science Association, the Midwest Political Science Association and the Policy Studies Organization. He has published research on civil rights, policy impact and electoral outcomes. Hardy has been interviewed by CNN, CBS Evening News, the Washington Post, The New York Times, USA Today, and many other media outlets. Earlier in his career, Hardy was a Republican candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives for the 9th District in Missouri. Additional links: |

"Missouri is going to be in a very strong position," Hardy said. "We have several experienced congressmen returning to Washington, some of whom are in very strong positions to bend the ear of the president. Missouri really gains by this, and of course George Bush will pick up a new ally in Jim Talent. Missouri is going to fare very well in national politics in the near future."
