WASHINGTON — John Wood, the former U.S. attorney for the Western District of Missouri, Wednesday officially entered the U.S. Senate race in Missouri, adding an independent candidate to an already crowded field of congressional hopefuls.
As of last Friday, Wood, 52, was still living and working in Washington, D.C., serving as a senior investigative counsel for the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6 Attack on the U.S. Capitol.
In the time since then, he has found an apartment in Kansas City, enrolled his two children in school for this fall and registered to vote in Jackson County. He will soon begin collecting the 10,000 signatures he needs from Missouri voters by Aug. 1.
