Missouri Right to Life has endorsed a candidate in the tight Missouri Governor's race.

Missouri Right to Life has issued endorsements in Missouri's 2024 GOP primaries for governor and lieutenant governor. Missouri Right to Life executive director Susan Klein joined us live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri" and discussed the organization's endorsement of Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft in the GOP gubernatorial primary and former State Sen. Bob Onder (R-Lake St. Louis) in the GOP primary for lieutenant governor. She says both candidates stand for life across the board, mentioning abortion and cloning:

Columbia Police and city manager De'Carlon Seewood say nine of Columbia's 11 homicides in 2022 involved domestic violence. Columbia's latest homicide also involved domestic violence. 27-year-old John Williamson III is charged with first degree murder for the weekend killing of his ex-girlfriend Azairah Brownlee, who was shot to death in a street. Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey tells 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri" that domestic violence victims often end up being killed. General Bailey tells listeners that police must investigate domestic violence cases and that that prosecutors must charge the suspects and keep them behind bars. Another topic that came on during our "Wake Up" interview is the recent call from the Mizzou Democratic Socialists of America for Columbia's city council to approve a sanctuary city ordinance to protect its LGBTQ citizens. Columbia spokeswoman Sydney Olsen tells 939 the Eagle that Columbia's legal department and the city's Commission on Human Rights are currently reviewing that request and a similar one from another Columbia resident. General Bailey says he will not let what he calls progressive city leaders undermine state statute, saying state law preempts local control:

"Missouri Times" publisher Scott Faughn says former State Sen. Bob Onder (R-Lake St. Louis) can win a statewide race for lieutenant governor, adding that Onder would still be able to practice medicine if elected to the post. Mr. Faughn describes former Senator Onder as someone who can raise money and someone who's effective. Faughn joined us live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri", and he also weighed in on State Rep. Sarah Unsicker (D-Shrewsbury) being removed from House committee assignments over social media posts she's made. Faughn also previewed Missouri's 2024 legislative session in Jefferson City:
