HAWLEY ANNOUNCES SENATE RUN

Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley released his first video, formally announcing his candidacy for a seat in the senate.

In the ad, Hawley accuses Claire McCaskill of being out of touch with Missourians, and turning her back on farmers and the working class.

Hawley formed an exploratory committee in August, and began raising funds.

Hawley is taking direct aim at McCaskill’s seat in 2018. She will be seeking re-election.
