JEFFERSON CITYÂ â In an announcement that instantly shook Missouri s political landscape, U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt said Monday morning he would not run for reelection in 2022. After 14 general election victories â three to county office, seven to the United States House of Representatives and four statewide elections â I won t be a candidate for reelection to the United States Senate next year, Blunt, a Republican first elected to the Senate in 2010, said in a video posted to Twitter.
Blunt, 71, became Missouri s senior U.S. senator in 2019 after incumbent Democrat Claire McCaskill was defeated in her 2018 reelection bid by then-Attorney General Josh Hawley.

Print article We can be better. That much, I knew when I ran for reelection in the Alaska State Legislature. Last week, words spoken by a colleague of mine on the House floor reminded me of that. Since then, the representative has apologized for his objectification of a female House member. He says he did not intend to cause harm, and I believe him. Yet, the concession remains: We can be better. For this reason, a core principle of the caucus I lead, the Alaska House Republicans, has been to restore respect and dignity in our state Legislature.
