Mike Kehoe on Foreign Policy

AdWatch: My opponent allows China owning Missouri ag land

A campaign ad titled "Cows" depicts a Missouri bovine forced to learn a new language "now that my farm is owned by China." The cow says its herd is wondering why Ashcroft supported a law "allowing the Chinese Communist Party to buy land here in Missouri, even land near sensitive US military bases." Other cows in the ad are adorned with the flag of China.

Asked to back up the claim about Ashcroft, a spokesman for [the pro-Mike Kehoe PAC funding the ad] pointed to legislation Ashcroft testified for in 2023 that would restrict foreign-owned purchases. The bill would have reduced the current 1% cap on foreign-owned agricultural land to 0.5%, and also would have barred "any alien or foreign business" from buying land within 30 miles of agricultural land, military installations and more.

Response to Ukraine: Russia does not share our values

The second half of the initiative encourages Missouri retailers to consider voluntarily removing Russian-made or Russian branded products from store shelves, and replacing them with USA-made and Missouri-made products.

"This initiative is in response to Vladimir Putin's decision to invade Ukraine," said Kehoe. "The message we want to send is simple: Russia does not share our values and Russian businesses funding Putin's war of aggression are unworthy of Missourians' money. Accordingly, we ask Missourians to replace Russian-made and Russian-branded products with American, and preferably Missouri-made, products."
