What Tuesday’s primary results say about Amendment 5 and the next Missouri Senate
Missourians rejected Amendment 5 in Tuesday’s primary by an 83-16 margin, impacting downballot races. Candidates opposing the amendment, like Greg Sharpe and Lori Rook, saw mixed success, while anti-establishment efforts largely failed. Lori Rook’s victory over state Sen. Curtis Trent in the 20th District highlighted an exception.
