Jefferson City, MO – State Treasurer Sarah Steelman is raising some eyebrows with her silence toward the man who beat her in the Republican primary for governor.
Steelman has not endorsed rival Kenny Hulshof, nor has she even made a positive public statement about his contest against Democratic Attorney General Jay Nixon.
Steelman criticized Hulshof often during their primary race. She hasn't said anything negative about him since the August 5 primary, but some observers say her silence carries negative undertones in itself.
Hulshof spokesman Scott Baker said there are no longer any expectations that Steelman will endorse the GOP candidate.
