Farm Bureau PAC endorses Democrat Koster for governor

For the first time in its 40-year history, the Missouri Farm Bureau's PAC, FARM-PAC, has endorsed a Democrat for statewide office.

Chris Koster's campaign for governor won the endorsement by a 50-16 vote margin over Republican Eric Greitens, for a 75.8 percent support among the political action campaign's delegates attending a meeting Friday at the Farm Bureau's Jefferson City headquarters.

The PAC's rules require at least a two-thirds vote by the delegates to make an endorsement.

The PAC also endorsed Republican attorney general candidate Josh Hawley, by a 72-2 vote over Democrat Teresa Hensley, for a 97.3 percent margin.

that Missouri will be close this year as to which way it goes at the top of the ticket, hard to say. I would like to see a Democratic sweep of the state offices and some changes in the legislature to be sure.
