January 6 committee investigator John Wood is launching an independent Senate campaign in Missouri i
John Wood, a former US Attorney in Missouri who's fresh off of a stint as a senior investigative counsel on the January 6 committee, is launching an independent campaign for US Senate in Missouri.
As he announced his campaign, he told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that he believes former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens is likely to win the Republican nomination, and that voters deserved an alternative.
Greitens, whose tenure as governor ended in a "revenge porn" scandal in 2018, recently released an ad that depicted him hunting "Republicans in Name Only" (RINOs)" in a violent, military-style raid.
"This RINO-hunting business has become a national story and I think that that advertisement is an embarrassment to our state, and it's dangerous," Wood told the Post-Dispatch. "I think Eric Greitens is a danger to women, he's a danger to children, and he's a danger to our democracy."

So... Someone tell me a story about Missouri as I know very little about it. Does a repug running as an independent give a dem any chance there? Does it split the repug vote enough to help us?
