health care."

Kenney has
been busy since the primary. Kenney recently joined Attorney
General Jay Nixon and Secretary of State Robin Carnahan at an event for
Congressman Ike Skelton. Last week, Kristi joined the parade
celebration in Rockville. "It was a great parade," she said,
"entertaining and enjoyable, especially when exchanging ideas with the
voters of the Rockville area."
