Former Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon said he would not run for U.S. Senate on Thursday, opting to choose a different path and leaving the 2022 Democratic nomination open for the taking.
Nixon, who left office in 2017 as the most recent Democrat to lead the Show-Me State, expressed a desire to remain focused on his law practice at Dowd Bennett, teaching at Washington University Law School and policy priorities, including conservation. I always thrived on policy more than politics, Nixon said in a statement posted to Twitter. My post-governor involvement on a myriad of matters is not filtered through a partisan lens that is liberating and I want it to continue.
