Military group endorses Carnahan

ST. LOUIS -- Citing her strong support for the U.S. armed forces and her commitment to Missouri's military families, Veterans and Military Families for Progress has announced its endorsement of Robin Carnahan for U.S. Senate.

In a news release, the organization highlighted Carnahan's work across party lines as secretary of state to pass the Veterans Business Protection Act, which the group said makes it easier for those serving overseas to keep their businesses in good standing with the state after they return home.

Carnahan also recently launched Veterans for Robin to bring together Missourians who "share her commitment to honoring our veterans," the release said.
