Republicans [including Quade's opponent Mike Kehoe] voted to override Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon's veto of a 2013 plan, opening up Missouri ag land to foreign ownership. In recent years, however, Republicans have pushed to reverse course.
House Minority Leader Crystal Quade said "Democrats have been trying to fix the mess the extremists made." She referred to legislation she filed barring future agricultural land purchases by foreign corporations, "ensuring we're putting America's food and energy needs first."
Quade said that while she has been "sounding the alarm" on the issue, "other candidates have voted to sell off Missouri's farmland or have made other issues a priority over securing our national interests."
