Missouri primary results are coming in

Nicole Galloway will be running against Mike Parson in November.

Yinka Faleti is the Secretary of State candidate running against yet another Ashcroft.


In my district Lindsey Simmons, Harvard law grad and wife of an active duty soldier whose unit had Russian bounties on them, will be taking on Vicky Hartzler.

The races are tighter in the Lt Governor and the Attorney General race for the Democratic nomination. I've supported Elad Gross since Day 1 but his primary opponent is running a close race.

I gave $25 to Lindsey Simmons last week. I despise Hartzler, I would dearly LOVE to get rid of that right-win gun nut. Do you think Simmons has a realistic chance?

I haven't donated to the Galloway campaign yet, but I will. I have to dole out my political donations as I can afford to make them.

She's a stronger candidate and far better than Hartzler. The main issue is how gerrymandered the district is. The district runs from Cass to Boone over and down to Fort Leonard Wood. Vicky has the rural areas wrapped up. Lindsey would have won Saline and Lafayette is they hadn't moved to the Fifth by sheer number if relations in both counties.

I'm worried about Amendment 2. It's a close vote. It lost in my County. Denny Hoskins was all over social media, on the radio and in print stating if it passed they would make millions in cuts to education.

crap! I worked some for Theresa Hensley, and still make a donation to her opponent every cycle. Will do so again.

I voted for Elad Gross today.
