Greene County Judge Rules State Rep Candidate Can’t Be on the Ballot

A Greene County judge has ruled an independent candidate for the 132nd District State Representative seat in Springfield has not met the threshold to be on the ballot because of invalid signature on his petition.

Larry Flenoid II’s fate in the race was decided by Greene County Presiding Judge Michael Cordonnier.

Missouri House Minority Leader Crystal Quade, the incumbent, filed a lawsuit against Flenoid in late August challenging the signatures.

Republican Stephanos Freeman will run against Quade in the November election.
