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.

  2. No Coleman, no “stalking horse”. Hubbard goes toe to toe on issues with Wright-Jones.

  3. While Robin and Connie are hosting legal battles………….Rodney is working knocking doors and raising funds. How can Robin not see that this is a distraction for her campaign. Wouldnt she be better served to have one of the groups that have endorsed her carry out this mission?

  7. I agree with 4/24 @ 10:39a.m. Wright-Jones shouldn’t distract herself like this. Johnson will take votes from the mayor’s and Paul McKee’s guy. LEAVE JOHNSON IN THE RACE!
