COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri lawmaker is running for governor after she was kicked out of the state House Democratic caucus for her ties to a man described as a Holocaust denier. Suburban St. Louis state Rep. Sarah Unsicker announced she’s running for governor Monday in Washington, D.C. Voters first elected Unsicker to the House in 2016. Support from her Democratic colleagues floundered last month after she posted photos on social media that showed her with a man cited by the Anti-Defamation League as a Holocaust denier. House Democrats voted to kick her out of their caucus in December.
