Meet Bob
My name is Robert L. Praprotnik (Bob) and I am running for the United State Senate for the State of Missouri. I am a Reagan Conservative. I own a small professional sub-chapter S corporation, R.L. Praprotnik and Associates, P.C./Architects. I've been in business since 1978. I worked for 20 years in the Architectural profession prior to starting my own business. I'm a graduate of University College, Washington University in 1968. Along with my Architectural firm I also own a construction company for 10 years until I closed it when my wife passed away in 1998. I have three daughters, Mary, Laura, and Elizabeth and five grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
I am running for U.S. Senate because I believe that freedom is being destroyed and the Constitution is being ignored completely by the Obama administration and the Congress and we need to re-establish control over out "out of control" government and, once again, return to following the Constitution. As a small business owner, I believe that the Government should be run as a business and not a social welfare entity.
