Wright-Jones Sues Johnson in 5th District Race

A state Senate candidate is seeking to get the name of one of her challengers removed from the ballot.

State Rep. Robin Wright-Jones filed a petition yesterday in the St. Louis City Circuit Court against State Rep. Connie Johnson, claiming that she does not reside in the district in which both are running for state senate.

According to the petition, Wright-Jones “has reason to believe that [Johnson] does not reside at said Tara address, but rather resides at 5848 Maple Avenue, St. Louis, Missouri which is outside the 5th District.”

In addition, the petition outlines several pieces of evidence Wright-Jones says prove Johnson does not live in the 5th District.

The third candidate in the Senate race is State Rep. Rodney Hubbard. Hubbard is a client of PubDef.net publisher Antonio D. French.
