Missouri Senate's hard-right Conservative Caucus disbands following primary election
The Missouri Senate's Conservative Caucus, a hardline group of Republicans who have pushed against both Democrats and fellow members of the GOP in their quest to enact certain right-wing priorities, is disbanding.
In a letter released Monday, five of the group's members called for "a new coalition of leadership" in Jefferson City's upper chamber, aiming to "seek unity within a single majority caucus ... under exclusively the Republican banner."
"It is time for the Republican Caucus to go fully on offense," they wrote.
The letter was signed by Sens. Rick Brattin of Harrisonville, Bill Eigel of Weldon Springs, Denny Hoskins of Warrensburg, Andrew Koenig of St. Louis County and Mike Moon of Ash Grove. It did not include signatures from Sen. Eric Burlison of Battlefield, the Republican nominee for the U.S. House in southwest Missouri, and Sen. Bob Onder of Lake St. Louis, who is term limited and leaving the chamber at the end of the year.
