You think the republican primary will be about who loves the University of Missouri more? Just asking.

The dust has cleared from the first day of candidate filing for the 2014 election cycle. Via the Secretary of State:

First day of candidate filing summary from the Missouri Secretary of State.

You think those party ratios in the General Assembly are an indication of the power of incumbency? Just asking. If you do run you may lose. If you don’t file you can’t win. If no Democrats files in a district who will Democrats vote for? Just asking.

Remain calm, don’t hyperventilate yet. Candidate filing is open until March 25, 2014.

And in the 3rd Congressional District:

What are the odds of an “All in the Family” general election race?

It would have been cute if they had waited in line together. Or, could this be an indication of something? Just asking.

Senator Claire McCaskill filed for reelection to the U.S. Senate yesterday afternoon. From the Missouri Secretary of State:

[….]

Several republican incumbent members of Congress who aren’t running for the U.S. Senate didn’t file on the first day. Any bets on surprise retirement announcements? We can hope, can’t we?

Eight candidates filed in the 2nd Congressional District. Three republicans filed in the 5th Congressional District for the opportunity to be humiliated by Representative Emanuel Cleaver (D) in November.

At this point there’s a gender gap between the two major parties when it comes to candidates running for Lieutenant Governor.

There’s no shortage of republicans willing to run for the Missouri House. Maybe it’s folks thinking, “I can do better.” Or, perish the thought, thinking, “I can be crazier.” Probably the latter.

A release from the Missouri Secretary of State’s office:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Secretary of State’s Office Receives Tentative State Senate District Maps

Jefferson City, MO – Missouri Secretary of State Robin Carnahan released the following statement after the State Senate Reapportionment Commission filed tentative district maps with her office:

   “Absent any further action by the state legislature or Missouri courts, candidate filing will begin on Tuesday, February 28, as state law requires.

   As it currently stands, citizens will be able to file to run for the congressional districts approved by the state legislature and the state House of Representative districts submitted by the Appellate Apportionment Commission in late 2011.

   Although our office has received the tentative Senate maps, the process for finalizing those boundaries remains incomplete until the conclusion of a 15 day public comment period. Because of that, candidates who intend to file for state Senate may consider waiting until after the final map is filed with our office.

   For anyone who chooses to file for state senate before the boundaries are finalized they may later withdraw, pay another filing fee and re-file in another district until filing closes on March 27 at 5:00 pm.”

It should also be noted that there are currently lawsuits pending challenging both the congressional district maps and state House of Representatives district maps.

I have a sneaking suspicion that our candidate filing stories are going to go a long way toward feeding the blog content beast in the coming month.

Filing opened today for candidates running for state office. You can see filings for each office at the Secretary of State’s website. Notably, only the Republican powerhouses Richard Allen Kline and Scott Long have filed for the governor’s race so far.
