    An article about the campaign was featured in the December 3 issue of the St. Louis Labor Tribune. The copy from that article by Kevin Madden is below.

    Teamster Jim Barrett running for state rep in South County

    Tesson Ferry- Jim Barrett, a member of Teamsters Local 688, is running as a
    Democratic candidate for state representative in the 97th District of far
    south St. Louis County.
    The primary election will be in August and the general election in November.
    Barrett, a 21-year Schnucks Warehouse employee, is an advocate of reforming
    the Missouri tax-increment financing laws as well as the state¹s
    open-records Sunshine Law.
    Barrett said the reason he was running: ³There is a disconnect from the
    kitchen tables of the 97th District to the House floor of Jefferson City.
    “Our campaign is based upon the belief that only hard work with common-sense
    solutions will lead us through these uncertain economic times,” he said.
    Barrett has been endorsed by Teamsters Joint Council 13, Teamsters Local
    688, the Missouri-Kansas-Nebraska Conference of Teamsters and UFCW Local
    655.
    He also has been endorsed by officeholders including State Treasurer Clint
    Zweifel and a long list of state representatives.
    Barrett is active with the South St. Louis Labor Legislative Club, the
    Tesson Ferry Township Democratic Club and the Oakville Democratic Club.
