JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Missouri gubernatorial candidate Catherine Hanaway resumed her campaign Friday after taking a monthlong hiatus because of the suicide of Republican rival Tom Schweich, and she pledged that her consultants would no longer be involved in the type of negative attacks that had targeted Schweich.
Hanaway suspended her campaign after Schweich fatally shot himself Feb. 26. She canceled three fundraisers and various speeches that had been scheduled at local Republican events.
Schweich’s suicide, which occurred just a month after he entered the governor’s race, has rocked Missouri’s Republican Party as it prepares for an important 2016 election featuring races for president, Senate and governor.
Former Republican U.S. Sen. John Danforth, an Episcopal priest who was Schweich’s friend and political mentor, suggested during his funeral eulogy that Schweich had been driven to suicide by political bullying and a perceived anti-Semitic whispering campaign against him.
Just days before his death, Schweich was targeted by a radio ad that mocked his physical appearance and suggested he was a pawn of Democrats who would “quickly squash him like the little bug that he is” in a general election.
