What you need to know before Tuesday

7:55 am on Fri, 08.03.12
There will be some constants when voters head to the polls Tuesday for Missouri’s primary election.
Everyone will get a chance to select nominees for the U.S. Senate and U.S. House as well as a raft of statewide offices up for grabs every four years. They’ll also decide on the so-called “prayer” amendment, a measure that’s won praise from some political and religious leaders and criticism from some attorneys and educators.
Other voters face hotly contested primaries for seats in the Missouri General Assembly, including in areas where winning the Democratic primary is tantamount to election. And in St. Louis, Democratic voters will likely pick the successor to city Treasurer Larry Williams.
For those still mulling their choices, the Beacon put together summaries of the contests and links to previous stories. Click on the names of the candidates to read past stories about the candidate.
