MO U.S. Senate Candidates Debate Minimum Wage, Or Do They?

Does Todd Akin, John Brunner or Sarah Steelman know Missouri's minimum wage? It appears they do not, according to this video from a Friday debate.

In this video of a debate Friday hosted by KMOX's Charlie Brennan, all three of Missouri's Republican U.S. Senate candidates insist Missouri's minimum wage is too high, but were unable to state the amount of Missouri's minimum wage.

Watch as Akin and Brunner admit to not knowing the minimum wage, while Sarah Steelman makes an incorrect guess.

The minimum wage in the state of Missouri is currently $7.25.
