The chiropractic profession has a golden opportunity to have a greater voice in the Missouri legislature this November. That opportunity comes through the efforts of Charles Portwood, a Manchester chiropractor who is campaigning as the Republican candidate for the state's 92nd District.
Dr. Portwood, who received his undergraduate education at Oklahoma Christian University and his DC from Logan College of Chiropractic, has spent a number of years on the Missouri State Chiropractors Association (MSCA) Board of Directors, legislative committee and PAC. He has testified before House and Senate committees and lobbied across the state on issue of great importance to the chiropractic profession.
Dr. Portwood feels strongly about a number of issues in his district:
- health care
- education
- taxes
- strengthening small business
- transportation
