A prominent figure in mid-Missouri politics has died.

Steve Walsh passed away Thursday morning, according to a Twitter post from his wife and current state representative Sara Walsh. Steve was hospitalized for COVID-19 complications earlier this month after both he and Sara Walsh contracted the virus.
