Revis enters as the younger opponent, a moderate Democrat and member of the NRA who interned for former Gov. Jay Nixon through the Civic Leaders Internship Program, and now works for Anheuser-Busch after a stint with Amazon right out of college.

Revis comes from a working-class family, raised as the son of a carpenter and a teacher, saying he recognizes the value of hard work and how labor unions helped shape the middle class. Revis is a graduate of the University of Missouri, with a degree in Business Administration, specializing in marketing.

Linton comes into the race as a practiced attorney, selected by the Republican committee in late October and representing what he calls constitutional conservative values. He has a degree in engineering, law, and theology, all of Missouri schools, and has worked for utility companies like Ameren and ITC Great Plains. He now works in his own firm.

Linton joins the race, mirroring the footsteps of his father, the former Rep. Bill Linton. His platform mirrors that of other Republicans in the Show-Me State, calling for less government and more freedom. He says that, if elected representative, he will work to grow the economy by “keeping government out of the way” in order to create more jobs, reduce the burden of taxes on Missouri families, and defend the citizens’ constitutional rights and protect the lives of the unborn.

I have a theory,

@Red Storm (in NYC)

it's a little whitepilling,

perhaps state legislative elections are not accurate at representing US Congressional elections,

the evidence I'm basing this on is the fact the average shift for state legislative elections have remain unchanged since January,
