Judge Jon Beetem agreed with Ellinger Bell’s arguments on behalf of the Republican State Committee and dismissed Democrat Stephen Webber's case seeking to remove Republican James Coyne from the August primary ballot in his bid for the 19th Senate District seat in Boone County. The Republican State Committee, represented by Marc Ellinger and Stephanie Bell, intervened in the case and asked the Judge to dismiss Webber’s case. Judge Beetem ruled Webber lacked standing and dismissed the case. Ellinger Bell has significant experience in election law and is well-versed in handling election disputes. They have represented Republican candidates and committees across Missouri in state and federal matters. Here, the court quickly dismissed the case brought by the former chair of the Democrat party. The Republican State Committee, involved in ensuring fair and competitive elections, intervened in this case to ensure voters get the opportunity to decide who represents them. The Committee supports Republican candidates and works to uphold the integrity of the electoral process, defending against challenges like the one brought by Webber. Comments are closed.
