Lager makes it official: He’s in for treasurer
Our Jo Mannies had the scoop this weekend: Brad Lager, a young State Senator from northwest Missouri, sent out a release today officially declaring his candidacy for state treasurer.
The Republican from Savannah, Mo. is 32-years-old and, as his announcement notes, is married to his “high school sweetheart” Stephanie.
Lager first made his intentions known over the weekend, at the annual Lincoln Days GOP gathering in Springfield.
He did provide the caveat, however, that he would drop out if the current treasurer, Sarah Steelman, abandoned her bid for governor.
Either way, the pair should not have too much trouble coordinating their campaign efforts - according to the release sent out by Lager, he has, like Steelman, enlisted the help of Axiom Strategies, the consulting firm led by GOP bulldog consultant Jeff Roe.
Right now, Lager is the only Republican in the race. If no more candidates sign-up, Lager will face either Arnold Mayor Mark Powell or Andria Simckes, an attorney from Creve Coeur, in November.
