Nixon will make no endorsement in attorney general race


Attorney General Jay Nixon issued a statement today saying he will not endorse any of the three major candidates for the Democratic nomination for attorney general. The statement was made after candidate Jeff Harris released an advertisement on the internet, and scheduled to start airing Sunday, which features a positive statement from Nixon.

"We have three strong candidates in the Democratic primary race for Attorney
General. I am not endorsing any one candidate over the others. I have known
Margaret Donnelly since 1988. During those 20 years she has been a champion
for Missouri families. Missouri would be lucky to have Margaret Donnelly as
its next Attorney General. Chris Koster has served the people of Missouri
for many years and has a long record as a prosecutor. This experience would
serve him well as Attorney General."

It is hard to believe that the omission of Jeff Harris' name was an oversight.
