The House Democratic Campaign Committee was announced. They're the Democratic representatives who will try to win as many seats in the State House as possible.

Although the chair, Mike Talboy, is from Kansas City, there's a heavy St. Louis contingent drawing on the incoming class.  Those folks are: Steve Brown, Don Calloway, Chris Carter, and Vicki Englund.  That helps since St. Louis is usually a stronghold for Democratic fundraising.

Here's the full press release:
