It appears that Senator Brian Nieves (r) has drawn a primary. At 4:03 p.m. yesterday Representative Dave Schatz (r), who was first elected in the 61st Legislative District in 2010 (and not yet subject to term limits), filed as a candidate in the 26th Senate District, challenging Senator Nieves (r) in the primary.
Via the Missouri Secretary of State:
It interesting to note that ten minutes after Representative Schatz (r) filed for the Senate Justin Alfermann filed to replace Schatz as a republican candidate in the 61st Legislative District at 4:13 p.m.:
It’s all in the timing.
Representative Schatz (r) does not have a particularly low key legislative agenda (for the current session):
