Maggie's List, an organization whose aim is to elect conservative women candidates, has endorsed Sarah Steelman in Missouri's Republican U.S. Senate primary.

"Sarah is a proven leader who has a strong record of opposing government spending as a State Senator, " said Sandra B. Mortham, chairman of the political action committee and former Florida Secretary of State. "Cutting Washington spending is part of her 'Show-Me Solutions for the First Sixty Days' that will guide her first two months in office."

Steelman is one of three Republicans seeking the GOP Senate nomination in the Aug. 7 primary. The others are Rep. Todd Akin and former St. Louis businessman John Brunner.
