@ClifSmart That’s Clif on the left and me on the right in case you were confused, since we look so similar!

But the best part of the cruise is sailing with 16 great friends. Thanks @SGFJim for organizing this great trip.

We are at the halfway point of our Douro River cruise. We got to the end of the navigable river at the Spanish-Portuguese border last night and drove to Salamanca, Spain today. Amazing city which is home to the fourth oldest university in Europe, but the mayor still found #SGF.

Enjoyed a wonderful family dinner at Showmechuy this evening. Chuy García and Judith Martínez-García were exceptional hosts. The service was excellent and the food was even better. This will be a staple for the Anderson family.

We made it home and our focus the next two days is on Springfield Sister Cities and its 21-year friendship with Tlaquepaque, Mexico. We host the patron party tonight and will attend Taste of Tlaquepaque tomorrow night. Below is a photo from our 2023 trip there.

UPDATED: Missouri State QB Jacob Clark told our @rwcollingwood that the Bears' 41-7 win at Illinois State is the closest to a full game the team has put together in 2024. Collingwood also has reactions from Tavier Williams and coach Ryan Beard. Read it: sgfcitizen.org/springfield-sp…

This could be a stellar week. Governor Parson signed my Land Bank bill today. Thursday he is signing two more of my bills and also Thursday MODOT Commissioners may vote on the funding of six laning I-44 through Springfield. 🤞

April 2 is a most critical election for SPS Board of Education. Please support these candidates who are committed to transparency, accountability and collaboration in the decision-making processes for our school district. They put kids and teachers first.

Every year, the Lt. Governor selects the state's women of achievement. I was honored to nominate Rachel Anderson and Winter Kinne, from Springfield, who have made lasting impacts on their city, county, and state. Way to represent Springfield!

Over the past 3 years, special interest groups with political and personal agendas have targeted school board races in an attempt to buy seats. This has unfortunately and drastically increased (by more than 300%) the fundraising needed to successfully campaign.

BREAKING: An ongoing 4-3 split among @officialSPS board members surfaced again in a closed-door vote on endorsing major health care alliance unveiled Tuesday by SPS, @CoxHealth @MissouriState and @OTCedu --scoop by @JoeHadsall sgfcitizen.org/schools/k12-ed…

Scoop from @JoeHadsall on how close @officialSPS board came to rejecting initiative with top education players @MissouriState (@ClifSmart) and @OTCedu (@HalHigdon) and Springfield's No. 1 employer @CoxHealth

Legendary @jay_football Coach Pete Adkins & Chiefs Coach Andy Reid used to spend time together in Jeff City back in the early 90’s. Reid was a young OL coach on Bob Stull’s staff at Mizzou. Reid was recruiting some Jays, while also learning a lot of football from the legend.

Look who visited Kansas City Chiefs camp this weekend! That’s Jefferson City Jays coaching legend Pete Adkins with the voice of the Chiefs Mitch Holthus. Coach is 98-years old and going strong!

Hey there, @CoxHealth crew! Thank you for keeping our communities healthy 🍏 and strong 💪, and for supporting our #SchoolSoiree as a Principal Sponsor this fall.
