Republican former U.S. Sen. John Danforth and others are urging a former federal prosecutor who is an attorney for the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection to make an independent run for Missouri's open Senate seat.
A committee on Monday launched a website encouraging John F. Wood to run for retiring GOP Sen. Roy Blunt's seat. The website said Missourians “deserve an alternative," and called Wood a “principled leader who has put country over party when the stakes are highest, and is committed to serving the people of our state with integrity.”
