Congress

A Maryville local is in the running for the Missouri 6th District congressman position. He is a first-time candidate looking to take over for the predecessor, Congressman Sam Graves.

Retiring Congressman Sam Graves endorsed Chris Stigall, a nationally syndicated talk radio host, to replace him. But that brought a fiery response from Kansas City Councilman Nathan Willett, who dropped out of a race for an open state Senate seat to file for Congress.
