Missouri Secretary of State Robin Carnahan received a warm welcome Friday from about 50 Pettis County Democrats at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2591 in Sedalia during a campaign stop in her race for the U.S. Senate.
Carnahan, who faces token opposition in the Aug. 3 primary, used the fish fry sponsored by the Pettis County Democratic Central Committee to call out her likely Republican opponent, U.S. Rep. Roy Blunt, noting that “he is the number one recipient of lobbyist campaign contributions in all of Congress.”
