Mission

WHY I'M RUNNING

I am running for the U.S. House of Representatives because I believe that the principles of fiscal responsibility and putting our nation's safety first have been lost in the day-to-day partisan struggle in the halls of Congress. I will win this election with the support of the second congressional district because we hold this belief to be true. Together the "Show Me" state will show Congress that our voice does make a difference.

We have a campaign in front of us, and the second congressional district deserves a clean, but competitive race. The beauty of our democracy is that our election laws allow for ideas, principles, and solutions to be exchanged between opponents and put before the American people for their vote.

If the people of Missouri choose to elect me their next U.S. House Representative for Missouri's 2nd Congressional District, I will work every day to honor their trust and to uphold the high responsibility that the office owes to each and every Missourian.

Please don't hesitate to email me your thoughts or comments at info@lizlauberforcongress.com. Or join our campaign mailing list.

Sincerely,

Liz Lauber

BIOGRAPHY

Liz Lauber is running for Missouri’s 2nd congressional district seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, which consists of Central and Western St. Louis County, Lincoln, and parts of St. Charles County. As a free enterprise Republican, with a strong commitment to empowering communities, Liz is campaigning on the principles of fiscal responsibility, strong national defense, and utilizing the role of government to protect those who need assistance.

After earning her B.A. in English Literature from Hamilton College, Liz was employed at the National Association of Home Builders before directing tax and budget policy for Citizens for a Sound Economy, now "Freedom Works", a grassroots organization dedicated to promoting meaningful tax relief. In her capacity there, Liz managed the "Scrap the Code" tour which made the case for the reduction of the marriage penalty, elimination of the “Death’ tax and across-the-board tax reductions. House Majority Leader Dick Armey tapped Liz for a position in his leadership office, where she served first as an economic advisor and then as a communications specialist. After the Majority Leader's retirement, Liz joined the Select Committee on Homeland Security under Chairman Christopher Cox., and in her senior staffer capacity, helped the committee become permanent. Working with the Chairman, Liz drafted a proposal to make funding for first responders "risk-based," which became the Committee's centerpiece legislation. The committee conducts oversight over the Department to help keep America safe.

After moving to St. Louis so her husband could join his family business and return home, Liz joined Wells Fargo as a government and industry relations communications consultant. During her tenure she won four awards for excellence and led the public relations for two national symposiums.

Currently, Liz and her husband, Will Lauber, reside in Kirkwood with their daughter.

"Our mission is simple: Together, we will create a new Gateway to a Better Tomorrow for all who live in Missouri's 2nd Congressional District."

"We need to focus on the priority issues, find solutions, and define action through the prism of our core principle of a limited federal power."
