A crowded Republican primary is emerging in Missouri’s 4th Congressional District, a solidly GOP seat that is also the only one of the state’s eight districts certain to have a new lawmaker at the end of 2022.
State Rep. Sara Walsh, R-Ashland, on Wednesday became the latest candidate to enter the race to replace U.S. Rep. Vicky Hartzler, who is running for U.S. Senate. At a campaign kickoff in Columbia attended by more than 80 supporters, Walsh said her life story, going from poverty to the legislature, and hard work would help her prevail in August 2022.
