ST. LOUIS, Mo. (KMOV.com) - The tight Republican race for governor will become a little clearer after today as voters head to the polls for Missouri’s primary elections.

Some are calling this the tightest Republican governor race in the state in two decades.

All four candidates have spent a combined $22 million campaigning. But even after all of the work, the race does not appear to have a clear-cut leader.

The candidates include businessman John Brunner, Navy Seal and non-profit CEO Eric Greitens, former Speaker of the House Catherine Hanaway, and current Liuetenant Governor Peter Kinder.

All four candidates have covered several topics, but have found parallels in their support of gun rights, lower taxes, and their disapproval of how the events in Ferguson were handled.

Appears the SEAL may be the nominee, at this point.

Yes, Greitens won. Hanaway can run against Sen. McCaskill for Senate in 2018. She would be better than Congresswoman Ann Wagner.

Meanwhile we still have a Blunt and Chief Wana Dubie didn’t have nearly enough votes to even even come close to a blunt.
