Accomplishments

Representative Seth Rose has not only had numerous bills signed into law but he has also secured an astounding 30 million dollars and counting in State Dollars for House District 72 and downtown Columbia. He has also been given awards for fighting for the basic rights of all citizens. These accomplishments are unprecedented for a member of the minority party and speak to Representative Rose’s uncanny ability to get things done. With more time and seniority in the Legislature it is very exciting to think about the results Representative Rose will produce for the Capital City and our State.
