ST. LOUIS -- The March of Dimes gave an award on Saturday to Senate President Pro Tem Peter Kinder to recognize his legislative efforts.
"Senator Kinder perennially went to bat for infant health-care advancements during his time in the General Assembly," said Deborah Kersting, state director for the Greater Missouri Chapter of the March of Dimes.
Kinder, R-Cape Girardeau, received the award after speaking to about 100 March of Dimes delegates from Missouri who had gathered in St. Louis for the group's annual planning meeting.
After 12 years in the Senate, Kinder is now running for lieutenant governor.
