Former State Department Official Pat Contreras 

A fresh newcomer on the Missouri political scene, he has an impressive resume and is coalescing several endorsements in his race.

Contreras brings youth and energy to an often-overlooked race, and his spirited fundraising number will intrigue many in the Democratic Party. It looks like while the Democrats are still searching for a secretary of state candidate, they have found their candidate for state treasurer in Contreras.
