The race for Missouri’s Democratic gubernatorial nomination is heating up, with two main candidates in the spotlight. Crystal Quade, a veteran in the legislature and the current minority leader in the House, is facing off against businessman Mike Hammer, who prides himself on being an outsider with no government experience. The key difference between the two candidates lies in their leadership experiences – Quade emphasizes her legislative background and building relationships across partisan lines, while Hammer’s leadership has primarily been in the business arena. The upcoming election is crucial for Democrats, but winning will require a strong performance, an unlikely weak showing by a Republican opponent, and potentially an unexpected event to tilt the scales in their favor. Quade seems to have the inside track, having recently secured key endorsements from prominent Democratic figures in the state. However, Hammer’s ability to bring outside funding and his past electoral success cannot be discounted. With less than a week until the election, the outcome remains uncertain, but Quade is seen as having the edge in this closely contested race.
