(MISSOURINET) – Former Missouri Governor Eric Greitens made a brief stop in St. Joseph at Rosecrans Memorial Airport today as part of a state fly-around.

Greitens, who resigned as governor, was asked if voters should believe the abuse claims made by his ex-wife.

Greitens is part of a crowded Republican field to replace retiring US Senator Roy Blunt, a Republican.

Prominent Republicans on the ballot include Attorney General Eric Schmitt, Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler, and Congressman Billy Long.
