Mo. Democratic Party Selects New Chairman

[Sherman A1]

The Democratic Party of Missouri has a new chairman.

On Saturday the state party committee picked long-time political strategist Roy Temple to replace Jackson County Executive Mike Sanders, who is stepping down after less than two years and says he may be interested in running for attorney general in 2016.

Even though Democrats have fared well as of late in state-wide elections, Republicans hold supermajorities in both the state House and Senate.

Though he won’t say what districts he believes are in play: “I’m not necessarily going to go through the list and give them warning."

1. Roy will be a good leader for our party.

I hope he reaches out to build the party in the rural areas of the state. I'd like to see a little more blue in the "red sea"......
