The Citizens for Barbara Lanning

Barbara Lanning, a pro-labor democrat from Lawson, Missouri, was Rep Bob Nance’s political opponent in the 2008 general election and is his opponent again this year. On September 24, 2008, the Richmond Daily News reported the Missouri Democratic Parties’ (MDP) claims that Lanning is one of the strongest candidates they have run in the 36th Legislative District in a long time. The MDP is referring to Jerry Cline’s run for the 36th Legislative in 2006 and, perhaps, Gary Kelley’s 2004 reelection gone awry. However, the 2006 and 2008 election results were identical. Even though Lanning raised seven times more cash than Cline, they both lost to Nance 60-40.
