Race Summary
This seat became open when Rep. Kenny Huslhof (R) announced he would run for governor rather than for a seventh term. Facing off in the general election is state Rep. Judy Baker (D) and former state tourism dir. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R), who both defeated four opponents in the August 5 primaries.
Two tough primaries produced nominees of fractured parties, but Republicans came out with the more moderate candidate. Luetkemeyer beat out a Club for Growth-backed candidate, while Democratic observers admit Baker was not the most centrist candidate the party could have picked. A poll for Baker's campaign showed her leading right after the primary, but that could change once Luetkemeyer consolidates his base.
