Mark Osmack has been out of the electoral fray for awhile, but he never completely abandoned his passion for Missouri politics.

Osmack, a Valley Park native and U.S. Army veteran, previously ran for Missouri’s 2nd Congressional District seat and for state Senate. During an episode of Politically Speaking, Osmack received a phone call from Missouri Democratic Party Chairman Russ Carnahan asking him to run for state treasurer.

“There's a lot of decision making and processing and evaluation that goes into it, which is something I am very passionate and interested in,” Osmack said.

Osmack is squaring off against state Treasurer Vivek Malek, who was able to easily win a crowded GOP primary against several veteran lawmakers — including House Chairman Cody Smith and Sen. Andrew Koenig.
