Hartzler forming exploratory committee for Senate run

Columbia’s representative in the U.S. House is looking at a move to the Senate.

We learned Monday that Republican Vicky Hartzler will form an exploratory committee to consider it. She has been a Missouri U.S. House member since 2010.

Roy Blunt announced last week he is not going for re-election to the Senate in 2022. Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt told Wake Up Columbia on Monday he is among many others seriously considering a run.
