So proud of these 4x800m relay boys! They were forced to run in an absolute monsoon yesterday during their race at the state meet! They competed their tails off and represented our team so well. Ran a tough race & placed higher than their seed - great job boys! Phenomenal season!
It wasn’t the fastest heat in the 100M dash, but for most at @heliascatholic, it was the most important! Logan Hillman vs Brady Fann for ALL the bragging rights!
CMAC CHAMPS! Our Boys Varsity team of Noah Doolittle, Ryan Beul, Parker Johnson, & Daniel Morris wins the 4x800. Way to start the day boys! Great job!
When I first ran for State Representative back in 1992, my aspiration was to represent my hometown of Tarkio, Missouri. I was a twenty-seven year old farmer who just wanted to stand up for a way of life and his community. I never could have imagined where that decision would take me.
For 8 years in the Missouri House and Senate, I fought for Northwest Missourians. From deregulating vehicle inspections, to standing for chain gangs, to securing funding for rural schools in the desegregation fight, I never lost sight of why I was sent to Jefferson City. Then, in 2000, the good, hardworking people of Missouri’s Sixth District entrusted me to be their voice in Congress.
For 26 years, I have had the privilege of serving, culminating in becoming the Chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and passing some of the most significant legislation in our nation’s history. The responsibility entrusted to me is not something I have ever taken for granted. Not for a single day.
What I’m most proud of is the work my team did when Washington made life harder for the people of Missouri’s Sixth. Together, we stood with hundreds of thousands of Missourians in their toughest moments. We helped them cut through red tape and navigate a system that often felt stacked against them. We got them answers and fought to deliver real results when they needed them most.
I’ve said all of that to say this: After considerable reflection, 2026 will be my final year in Congress. This wasn’t an easy decision, but it’s the right one. I believe in making room for the next generation. It’s time to pass the torch and allow a new guard of conservative leaders to step forward and chart a path forward for Missourians.
That doesn’t mean I’m slowing down, not even close. As I enter the 4th quarter of my life, I have more left in me. As many of you know, I don't let grass grow under my feet. We’ve still got a lot of work to do. I’m going to fight to protect Missouri interests as we work to shape this year’s Highway Bill. I plan to finish this last term the same way I started, full speed ahead.
Maintaining our strong democratic republic will always depend on good people stepping up to serve from every corner of our great nation. I’m grateful for my colleagues in both parties, for the people I’ve worked alongside, and even for the opponents who challenged me and made me better. Public service isn’t easy. It takes hard work, humility, a thick skin, and a willingness to fight for what’s right.
At the end of the day, I’m still the farmer from Northwest Missouri. You’ll find me back home on the farm nearly every weekend, after all, it is planting season. In fact, I’ll probably be on a tractor this weekend. And come Monday, I’ll be heading back through Kansas City on my way to D.C. to keep doing the job you sent me there to do. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
It has been the honor of a lifetime.
Always love starting a track meet with the 4x800. Today we honor our boys 4x800m who finished 2nd in the state last year! We return three members and one of our top alternates. Gonna be a fun group to watch all year! Let’s go boys!

💥SCHOOL RECORD💥During last week’s State Track Meet our 4x800m boys broke a 42 year old record. Their time of 7:58.05 bested the mark from 1983. The team of Daniel Morris, Noah Doolittle, Alex Marberry, & Ian Benne have placed their names in our record book Great job boys!
On this beautiful day - let’s honor another relay team. Our boys 4x800m had a 5th place finish in the state last season and we return three of our four runners and our top alternates! It’s gonna be electric to watch the group all season & I can’t wait to see where they go!
Thank you for posting, Brad. With so much uncertainty, it is great to be able to endorse someone unconditionally. Like @MikeLKehoe, @lincolnhough is the real deal. Missourians would be fortunate if they take your advice!
