unsicker

The Democratic Party on Tuesday refused to accept a filing fee from state Rep. Sarah Unsicker, who was exiled after social media posts last year showed her with a man cited by the Anti-Defamation League as a Holocaust denier.

“Having been removed from the House Democratic Caucus by your peers, the Missouri Democratic Party does not wish to associate with you as a candidate,” the party’s lawyer, James Paul, wrote in a Tuesday letter to Unsicker.

Unsicker could still run for Missouri governor as a libertarian or a Republican if those parties would accept her.

The Associated Press sent a text to Unsicker on Tuesday seeking comment.

Unsicker was prepared to challenge House Minority Leader Crystal Quade for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination.
