As the election nears, a wide range of organizations have lined to endorse Rep. Denison. In their endorsement letters, these groups acknowledge his consistent and energetic efforts for education, traditional values, job-creation and economic development. Additionally, he is seen as a conservative and pragmatic legislator who is devoted to his constituents in southwest Springfield.

For years, Charlie has worked tirelessly for Springfield’s citizens.  Before being elected as a State Representative in 2004, Charlie served on Springfield’s Personnel Board, the City Utilities Advisory Board and for four years on Springfield's City Council.  Thus, Charlie understands your needs from both the local and the state level.  He has served on many legislative committees, including being Vice-Chair of the Committee on Rural Development. 

Long before entering public life, Rep. Denison believed in the sanctity of life and traditional family values.  As a fiscal conservative, Charlie continually fights for low taxes and against wasteful government spending.  Included in Charlie’s value system is that he represents all his district’s constituents. He is committed to promotion of a pro-business environment, and he understands that education is the driving force of our economy!

Charlie is a man of integrity who cherishes his character and keeps his word.  He has kept his promises -- to support education, to bring quality jobs to Missouri; and to stand up for our veterans. He has helped pass budgets adding over a half billion dollars for education.   He has received the “100% for Jobs” Award from the Missouri Chamber of Commerce. Charlie co-sponsored legislation banning protests at military funeral, and he created the "Purple Heart Memorial Highway.".
