The Governor’s Ham Breakfast at the Missouri State Fair took place yesterday morning in Sedalia. This annual fundraising event is usually a “must attend” function for Missouri legislators, statewide office holders, members of Congress, and candidates. Usually.
Champion Ham and Bacon.
For an hour or so before the organized program and meal starts attendees start at the entrance running a gauntlet of campaign signs and t-shirt wearing campaign volunteers. After the early August primary some November general election candidates do show up.

Glad you got a photo of former Republican candidate for State Auditor Gerald Wistrand m, Jr. and me at the Ham Breakfast. Media have yet to report on Jerry’s unprecedented crossover endorsement of the Democratic candidate after losing in Republican primary for the same position.
Jerry and I share a bipartisan concern that the reelection of our underperforming State Auditor, and Amendments 4 and 5 that he supported, would worsen Missouri’s collapsing fiscal condition about which a rating agency just warned.
