Kelly leads Nauser by 15 points, MU students show support
With 12 percent of precincts reporting in, Kelly leads Nauser 57 percent to 42 percent. Despite a calming down of the watch party, Kelly and his supporters remain happy and confident about the campaign.
Stephen Webber, the democratic 23 district state representative candidate, stopped by Kelly's watch party to show his support along with some MU students who attended Webber's watch party a few blocks away.
"There are a number of reasons that I support Kelly, one of which is that he fought for Mizzou to prevent budget cuts and he is not overly partisan or ideological, which makes him a valuable member to have (in the House)," student and supporter Greg Young said.
