My latest This Week in Missouri Politics column: Plocher takes command to pass the agriculture bill.
The State of Missouri has an opening for Attorney General. The job requires experience in prosecution, politics, and government administration. The ideal candidate would commit to serving in the position for a while before seeking promotion, and it would be outstanding if the successful applicant focused more on dragging sex offenders, not school board members into court.
Attorney General Eric Schmitt rolled to a smashing victory in the U.S. Senate race with 45% of the vote. Congresswoman Hartzler came in second with 22%. In a change of pace, it was the woman beating Eric Greitens, instead of the other way around, he came in a distant third with a weak 18%.
To end the #F150CampaignTour I drove by the Jim the Wonder Dog Museum and then dropped into Bud’s Cafe to see what folks in Saline thought about Trump.
Short Sunday in the F150, but we did get to go to one of my favorite places in Missourah, St. Francois County. I used to love how Lt. Governor Kinder used to pronounce it. We pulled up to Kevin Engler Park for a Schmitt rally.
After a morning of complete domination it was back to the #F150CampaignTour and heading to the land of 1st in Meth and last in Math: Jefferson County.

We started off the day in Greene County where they have two competitive Senate races. Gussie loves Bass Pro Shops so we stayed at Anglers and went across the street when they opened.
This morning Missouri Times Publisher Scott Faughn sat down with Democratic Senate candidate Trudy Busch-Valentine at her home in St. Louis County.
She was very open about her family, her family’s loss of a child to addiction, and how she would view her role as a United States Senator.
