Former Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon said he would not run for U.S. Senate on Thursday, opting to choose a different path and leaving the 2022 Democratic nomination open for the taking.
Nixon, who left office in 2017 as the most recent Democrat to lead the Show-Me State, expressed a desire to remain focused on his law practice at Dowd Bennett, teaching at Washington University Law School and policy priorities, including conservation. I always thrived on policy more than politics, Nixon said in a statement posted to Twitter.

House Budget Committee Chairman Cody Smith (R-Carthage) tells Missourinet that his committee will meet Tuesday at 11. Based on the turnout at Thursday’s Senate Appropriations Committee hearing on the FRA, a large audience is likely.
After more than ten hours of behind-the-scenes negotiations at the Missouri Capitol all day and night Friday, the Senate voted 28-5 early Saturday morning to approve the FRA extension. The vote came at about 12:30 a.m, as heavy rain fell on the Capital City.
