MCV-PAC has learned that Galen Higdon, a retired deputy sheriff and 2008 Republican candidate for Buchanan County Sheriff, will soon announce his candidacy for 29th Legislative District Representative. Higdon, a life-long, Southside St. Joseph resident, is expected to make a formal announcement on Saturday, January 30th in south St.JOseph for the Republican candidacy.
MCV-PAC predicts that his entry into this race will put the long-time, Democratic seat of the 29th district in play for Republicans. Higdon’s strong performance against an incumbent sheriff in southside precincts, and strong personal relationships in southern Buchanan and northwest Platte counties will finally give residents of this district a voice in Jefferson City. MCV-PAC will keep on top of developments in what is now expected to be a very competitive race.
