| − | ===Congressional career===
| + | |
| − | In 2000, Congresswoman [[Pat Danner]] suddenly retired due to breast cancer. Graves decided to run for her seat, facing Congresswoman Danner's son, Steve Danner, a fellow state lawmaker, in the general election. Graves referred to Danner as a "tax and spend Liberal" and won the race with 51% of the vote [http://www.sos.mo.gov/enrweb/raceresults.asp?eid=14&oid=3990&arc=1]. Graves easily won re-election in 2002 [http://www.sos.mo.gov/enrweb/raceresults.asp?eid=87&oid=24483&arc=1] and 2004 [http://www.sos.mo.gov/enrweb/raceresults.asp?eid=131&oid=32756&arc=1].

| − | Because Missouri's 6th District has changed between Democratic and Republican control several times, elections in the district tend to be closely contested. As a result, candidates in the district often receive large conributions from their national parties and party leaders. Graves received a total of $35,000 from former House Majority Leader [[Tom DeLay]]'s [[ARMPAC]] [http://www.ourfuture.org/issues_and_campaigns/accountablecongress/delay/money9.cfm]. Grave's Democratic opponents have criticized him for this connection [http://www.dccc.org/races/candidates/MO_06_Sara_Shettles.html].

| − | ====2006 elections====
| + | |
| − | In 2006, the [[Democratic Party|Democrats]] nominated [[Sara Jo Shettles]] to face Graves in his November 2006 bid for reelection. (See [[U.S. congressional elections in 2006]]) [http://opensecrets.org/states/election.asp?State=MO&year=2006] Graves retained his seat.
