Marine veteran Proffer announces her candidacy for the 145th District

With growing concerns about the direction the country, Victoria “Tori” Proffer announced her candidacy for Missouri House District 145.

She will be running as a Missouri Constitution Party candidate, as she said it is the two-party system that has led to the continued abuse of the U.S. Constitution, and the only way to fix it is to get back to the basics of rule of law, the Constitution and God.

The 145th District includes Bollinger, Madison and most of Perry counties.

Proffer lives in Madison County, but her roots stem from Marble Hill, Missouri, where her grandparents, Milas Rhodes and Ruth Proffer-Rhodes, were lifelong residents.

She is a U.S. Marine veteran from the Vietnam War era.

“The Marine Corps trained me to be a warrior, and that is what I will continue to be,” she said. “I won’t consider myself a politician as much as I will consider myself a patriot with a mission.”
