Candidates for the August primary elections began filing with the St. Louis Board of Elections and the Missouri Secretary of State today.
Alderman Mike McMillan, who is running for City License Collector; Gregory F.X. Daly, the current License Collector now running for Collector of Revenue; Circuit Clerk Mariano Favazza; and Recorder of Deeds Sharon Carpenter were all gathered at the entrance of the Board of Elections office before 8:00 this morning.

UPDATE: Several St. Louis candidates have made the trek to Jefferson City to file for state offices today.
In the 4th District Senate Race: Yaphett El-Amin and Amber Boykins have already filed.
In the 57th District State Rep. Race: Talibdin El-Amin and Joe Palm have filed.
In the 60th District State Rep. Race: Robert Bartlett and Shaun Simms have filed.
First day filers selected a number by random drawing to determine their placement on the primary ballot. After the first day all candidates are placed on the ballot in order of their filing.
UPDATE 2: Jamilah Nasheed filed for the 60th district race at 12:55 p.m. Derio Gambaro filed for the 4th district senate seat at 1:48 p.m., after former Alderman Kenny Jones shocked everyone by filing in that highly contested race at 12:07 p.m. Rumor has it that Jones was escorted by school board member Bill Purdy.
UPDATE 3: Jeff Smith filed at 2:24 p.m. Smith and fellow southsider Derio Gambaro must be liking their chances even more in the 4th district senate race now that Kenny Jones has effectively split the northside vote 3 ways.
