From StJoeNews.net:
Aspiring politicians run aplenty in St. Joseph this summer, with three Missouri House seats open for the taking.
The 2010 elections for the 28th and 27th House District seats should come as no surprise, as both Rep. Dr. Rob Schaaf, R-St. Joseph, and Rep. Ed Wildberger, D-St. Joseph, will reach their term limits next year. And a handful of candidates have surfaced for the races.
But recent news from Rep. Martin Rucker, D-St. Joseph, opens up his 29th House District seat, as well. Mr. Rucker last week divulged intentions to run for the 34th Senatorial District seat, which Sen. Charlie Shields, R-St. Joseph, will vacate in 2010. Rep. Ed Wildberger, D-St. Joseph, who also had been mulling the Senate bid, stepped back last week and said he instead would pursue a county office.
