JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — After months of hinting at a run, the president of the Missouri Senate jumped into the Republican primary race to replace retiring U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt.
State Sen. Dave Schatz, R-Sullivan, released an introductory ad Tuesday casting himself as a hands-on candidate who has had success in getting legislation across the finish line as a member of the Senate and the House.
“I’m a real guy who will always shoot you straight,” Schatz said in the video. “Here in Missouri, we’re able to get things done because we’re not afraid of hard work.”
