The endorsing body of the American Nurses Association (ANA) in conjunction with the Missouri Nurses Association (MONA) have endorsed Judy Baker for Congress in Missouri’s Ninth Congressional District. The nurses supported Judy because of her long-standing efforts to increase the quality of health care in Missouri and ongoing support of other nursing issues.

“I am so thankful for the support of Missouri’s dedicated nurses who see the need for fundamental change in our health care system,” Baker said. “With their help I will win this election and represent the issues nurses and Missourians care deeply about: Quality health care that we all can afford.”

MONA is the only full-service professional organization representing Missouri’s 70,000+ RNs and constituent members. Baker has been a health care advocate and manager for more than 20 years. She has helped increase access to health care in rural areas and fought Gov. Matt Blunt’s plan to cut the health care of more than 200,000 seniors and children.
