Missouri Senate Candidate Austin Petersen Reacts To State GOP Voting To Allow RNC To Spend Money On Rival Josh Hawley Before August Primary

In a 12-1 vote on Monday, the Missouri GOP executive committee decided to lift the rule prohibiting the Republican National Committee (RNC) from spending money on primary candidate Josh Hawley in the Missouri Senate election.

The committee’s move could jeopardize the campaign of Austin Petersen, who is running against Hawley in the Republican primary, which is scheduled for August 7.
