I’m surprised that it was a close race. Hulsof’s 49% to Steelman’s 45%. He got most of the votes in the north east part of the state, which to me is weird, because he’s from the bootheel,IIRC. Guess he hit that area harder campaigning. Steelman did her best in the central and southern part, unfortunately those are the areas with less voters.
Hulsof talked a good talk, but he’s sullied by the stank of D.C. in my opinion.
Hulshof is from the Northeast. Jo Ann Emerson is from the Southeast/Bootheel.
