Democrat Robert Butler is the latest guest on Politically Speaking. He joins St. Louis Public Radio’s Jason Rosenbaum and Abigail Censky to talk about his bid for the 22nd District Senate seat.

Butler is running against incumbent Sen. Paul Wieland, an Imperial Republican who first captured the Jefferson County-based district in 2014. Wieland’s episode of Politically Speaking was posted on Monday.

Butler is an attorney who has lived in Jefferson County for more than 20 years. The Barnhart resident is not a first time candidate: He’s run for a state House seat encompassing part of northern Jefferson County twice, losing both times to House Majority Leader Rob Vescovo.
