COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) - President Barack Obama is urging voters to pick Democrat Chris Koster to be Missouri’s next governor.
Obama says in a new radio ad before Tuesday’s election that Koster, the state’s attorney general, will build the Democratic president’s policies in place, including the federal health care law.
Obama says Koster will expand Medicaid eligibility for low-income adults, fight for more funding for schools and raise the minimum wage.
Koster said during a Columbia event Monday he welcomes support from “everybody who is behind” his campaign. He said there are problems with Obama’s law but backs expanding Medicaid eligibility to invest tax money in Missouri.
Republican candidate Eric Greitens countered with an ad noting Obama’s support of Koster.
Greitens wants to tie Koster to Obama and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
