Missouri Sen. Roy Blunt gets a challenger

Still, Kander enters the race as an underdog in a state where Republicans have shown increasing strength in recent yearsand where a high-profile Democrat, Gov. Jay Nixon, has suffered popularity blows because of his handling of the Ferguson police shooting and the protests that followed.

“Just two years into statewide office, Kander has tried doing everyone’s job but his own and can’t wait to get to Washington to continue the decline the Obama agenda has started,” Martin said.
