A new study ranks Missouri No. 15 out of all 50 states for corruption risk.
After evaluating Missouri’s laws for preventing corruption, a team of journalists and watchdog activists gave Missouri a 'C-', ranking the state No. 15 out of 50.

Chesterfield state senator will instead run for a second term in the Missouri Senate.
State Sen. Jane Cunningham will not run for Congress next year. With U.S. Rep. Todd Akin, R-2nd district, vacating his seat in Congress to run for the U.S. Senate, Cunningham, R-St. Louis County, had expressed interest in running for the U.S. 2nd District House seat. But she told a St. Louis radio station on Wednesday morning that she would instead run for re-election for her western St. Louis County state Senate seat, which includes part of Creve Coeur. In a phone interview with Patch, Cunningham said her decision came down to where she could “have the most impact.” “But it took a lot of time to thoroughly look at it, because running for Congress was a really nice political opportunity that was very inviting,” Cunningham said.
