JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Latest on the primary election in Missouri (all times local):
Republican Rep. Sam Graves will square off with novice politician Henry Martin in November after their primary victories.
Graves, of Tarkio, who is seeking a 10th term, was unopposed Tuesday. Martin defeated two other candidates in the Democratic primary.
The district that covers a wide swath of rural northern Missouri has skewed decidedly conservative in recent years. After narrowly defeating Democrat Steve Danner in 2000, Graves has won easily in every general election since.
Graves serves on the House Armed Services Committee and the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
Martin is an Army veteran. He has said infrastructure improvements, better education and justice reform are issues he wants to address in Congress.
