JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley has formed a political action committee to help other candidates get elected.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch on Friday reported that the Republican created a leadership PAC called Fighting for Missouri.
Leadership PACs are common. Both Republican U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt and Missouri's former Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill formed leadership PACs.
