Four in scramble for Democrat nod for attorney general

Jeff Harris, 43, is a resident of Columbia and graduated in 1991 from Cornell Law School. He is a member of the Missouri Legislature and was first elected to the House in 2002. He is the former House minority leader. And also has served as an assistant attorney general under Nixon.

Harris said that if elected, he would continue to work on issues on which he worked as a state representative.

“I will continue the work I’ve done to protect our Missouri consumers,” he said. “Issues like the no-call list, cracking down on predatory and payday lenders.”

Harris said he would expand the state’s no-call list to allow businesses and cell-phone users to add their numbers to the list.

He said he would work to protect home buyers from unscrupulous lenders and to cap excessive rates charged by so-called “payday lenders.”

Harris said every resident in the state “deserves to play on a level playing field” and that as attorney general, he would “represent everyone in this state.”

Molly Williams, of Kansas City, also is listed as a candidate for the Democrat nomination. The Globe’s efforts to reach her for information were unsuccessful.

The attorney general’s position pays $113,000 annually.

Missouri primaries

Primary elections will be conducted from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday across Missouri and Kansas.
