Libertarian and Green Candidates Do Well in Special Missouri Legislative Elections

Missouri held special elections on November 5, 2019, in six districts. In the 74th district, in Ferguson, the only candidates were a Democrat and a Libertarian. The Libertarian, Nicholas Kasoff, polled 42.7%. He had a fair amount of name recognition based on his previous campaigns for state and county office.

In the 22nd district, in Kansas City, the candidates were a Democrat, a Republican, and a Green, Jeff Francis. Francis polled 7.1%, which is the best showing ever for a Missouri Green Party nominee for federal or state office, in races with both major parties also in the race. Thanks to Ken Bush for this news. Here is a link to the Secretary of State’s election returns.
