Former state representative Vicky Hartzler has filed a statement of candidacy to run against Rep. Ike Skelton in 2010.CQ Politics notes THIS filing shows Hartzler appears to be ramping up for a race.
She was a spokeswoman for an organization that promoted a 2004 state constitutional amendment, overwhelmingly passed by voters, that banned same-sex marriage.
On Friday, Hartzler confirmed to CQ that she has submitted FEC paperwork and is "in the beginning stages of putting together my campaign team."
