As the Representative of the 3rd Congressional District of Missouri, Blaine is committed to representing the interests of hard-working people by being a strong voice for them in Congress.
Representing the 13 counties that make up the 3rd Congressional District of Missouri, Blaine is a native of St. Elizabeth, MO where his family has lived for four generations.
Along with his strong agriculture background, Blaine is a small businessman, having been in the banking and insurance industry for over 30 years. He also served as a bank regulator for the state of Missouri earlier in his career.
Due to reckless federal spending, the federal budget has ballooned to an unsustainable level. I have supported numerous measures to freeze funding for, and often cut, numerous federal programs. I remain firm in the belief that the nation's fiscal crisis cannot be left for the next generation to solve and that a balance budget is the only real solution to reining in our ballooning deficits, living within our means and paying down the national debt. Every day, Missouri families and businesses make tough choices to balance their own budgets, and the federal government should do the same.
