Missouri: Nixa Mayor who survived recall vote now running for State Rep

Following his overwhelming recall victory in November, Nixa Mayor Brian Steele is running for state Representative as a Republican. 

Steele survived his recall election with 75% in his favor (808-2458). Turnout was much higher than Steele's original victory (he won 648-19). The recall was over Steele's support for the city's mask mandate to combat the coronavirus pandemic. Petitioners handed in 97 signatures, with 73 valid. They needed 67.  The recall cost was estimated to be $10,000-$15,000.
