More on Roy Blunt
Description from Wikipedia:
Roy D. Blunt (born January 10, 1950) is an American politician from the U.S. state of Missouri. He represents Missouri's 7th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives, which takes in most of Southwest Missouri, the most conservative part of the state, anchored in the city of Springfield and also includes other conservative cities such as Joplin, Carthage, and Neosho. The district also contains the popular tourist destination of Branson. Blunt was the House Majority Whip during the 110th Congress but announced that he would step down from the position following the results of the 2008 general elections. Blunt is a member of the Republican Party.
After House Majority Leader Tom DeLay stepped down due to a criminal indictment in Texas, Blunt served as interim House Majority Leader from September 29, 2005, to February 2, 2006, when John Boehner of Ohio was elected as DeLay's permanent replacement.
Blunt is the father of Matt Blunt, the former Governor of Missouri from 2005-2009.
On February 19, 2009, Blunt announced he would seek the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Republican U.S. Senator Kit Bond in 2010.
