Election Day is fast approaching, and Friday, Missouri Republicans statewide and locally had one of their last chances to rally voters.

Dave Spence, Shane Schoeller, Ed Martin and Cole McNary were at the Republican headquarters in Kirksville on Friday morning apart of Missouri's Comeback Team bus tour.

Elected officials and candidates were joined by other volunteers and activists to rally GOP voters before Tuesday’s election.

“The last four years have just been detrimental to our economy,” said Kirksville resident Veeve Holtz. “I just really want a new hope and new change. That old hope that we had is not hiring and, I believe the republican ticket can get us new jobs.”

“We appreciate the opportunity to come to the rally, and especially impressed with the college republicans and the young people here today,” said Lancaster resident Berkley Barton.

After they left Kirksville, the bus tour made their final stop of their two-day tour in Saint Louis.
