While Claire McCaskill and her friends are complaining that another Missouri officeholder dare challenge her, here’s a helpful reminder of her own history of running for virtually every elected office in the state.
1982: McCaskill elected state representative
1990: McCaskill elected Jackson County legislator
1992: McCaskill elected Jackson County Prosecutor
1998: McCaskill elected State Auditor
2004: McCaskill loses Governor race after receiving Democratic nomination
2006: McCaskill elected U.S. Senator
For the kicker, here’s McCaskill talking in her audiobook about her ambition to move up from the state legislature and one day become Governor.
“If Claire McCaskill had any self-awareness, she’d be embarrassed complaining about other elected officials running for higher office,” said NRSC Spokesman Bob Salera. “McCaskill is terrified that her 36-year political career is about to come to an end, and is willing to say absolutely anything if she thinks it will help her hold on to power for a little bit longer.”
