Today is the last day for candidates to file for the August and November elections on the Republican, Democratic, or Libertarian tickets, and it looks like smooth sailing for most of the representatives in the Joplin area.
Those running without opposition at this writing are: Tom Flanigan, R-Carthage, 127th District; Bryan Stevenson, R-Webb City, 128th District; Ron Richard, R-Joplin, 129th District; Kevin Wilson, R-Neosho, 130th District; and Marilyn Ruestman, R-Joplin, 131st District.
Stevenson, Richard, Wilson, and Mrs. Ruestman are incumbents. Flanigan is running for the seat currently held by Steve Hunter, R-Joplin, who cannot run for re-election due to term limits.
The only Joplin area candidate with opposition is Rep. Ed Emery, R-Lamar, 126th District, who is opposed by Linda Marie Crane, D-Greenfield.
