Missourians should not be concerned with the schoolboy antics Attorney General Andrew Bailey and challenger Will Scharf are uncovering in attempt to smear one another in advance of the upcoming attorney general primary election. ("As Andrew Bailey entered state government, Missouri's top lawyer wiped own record clean," June 20.)
Rather, we should be looking at Bailey's legal record and priorities since his appointment to his position as attorney general last year and the Donald Trump criminal coattails Scharf has chosen to grab ahold of in his efforts to climb Missouri's political ladder.
In my opinion, it is the judgment each has exercised professionally, not their fishing or dining habits in their college days, that disqualifies them from meriting support for the role of our state's chief law enforcement officer.
