JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Latest on the Missouri primary election (all times local):
Republican Rep. Sam Graves will get a chance at an 11th term in Congress after defeating a challenger in Tuesday’s GOP primary.
Graves, 56, of Tarkio, defeated Christopher Ryan in the primary election.
The 6th District covers the width of rural northern Missouri, from the Kansas border to the Illinois border.
Graves is a member of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and the House Committee on Armed Services. He has been a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump.
The district has moved very conservative in recent years and Graves will be heavily favored in November against the winner of the five-person Democratic primary.
