In a crowded union hall Wednesday, Teamsters General President James P. Hoffa announced his group’s support of Attorney General Jay Nixon for governor.
Nixon accepted the endorsement and gave a speech outlining his plan to improve workers’ rights and his willingness to fight current governor, Matt Blunt, for control of the state.
“They’re going to spend $25 million saying bad things about me in the next 363 days,” said Nixon. “And I’m ready to rumble.”
