Republicans get closer to House control

November 5, 1997
By: Allison Girvin
State Capital Bureau

Republicans are one step closer to taking majority control on the house floor.

Allison Girvin has the story from Jefferson City.

In a special election, Republican David Klint won a northern Missouri seat, and brought House Republicans one seat closer to gaining majority control.

The victory increased GOP seats to 76, just six seats short of what Republicans need to push the Democrats into the minority.

Spokesman for the Republican party Daryl Duwe (dewey) says this win is just a first of many more to come.

Contents: We found out that if we have a good candidate our message will carry the day in 1998 and I think we will have a Republican majority once the dust settles next November.

Klindt, a farmer from Bethany, will be the new represenative for Davies, Grundy, Harrison, Mercer and Sullivan Counties.

From Jefferson City, I'm Allison Girvin.
