It's official, Greene County Prosecutor Darrell Moore will run for the Republican nomination for the 7th Congressional District seat that will be vacated by Roy Blunt in 20-10.
After three terms as the elected prosecuting attorney, Moore says he feels the need for a new challenge.
Since Congressman Roy Blunt's announcement that he will run for Kit Bond's Senate seat the race for Blunt's 7th Congressional District seat has become littered with Republican contenders.
U.S. Rep. Roy Blunt, who's represented the district since 1997, is running for the U.S. Senate in an attempt to replace Sen. Kit Bond who is stepping down to spend more time with his family.
Auctioneer Billy Long is the front runner in the money race so far, but the race for Washington is still in it's infancy.
