(AP) – A former worker for the marketplace under President
Barack Obama’s health care law says she’ll challenge Missouri Sen. Claire
McCaskill for the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination.The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Wednesday that Democrat Angelica Earl
plans to create a campaign committee for the race soon.

McCaskill first took office in 2007 and is up for re-election in 2018.

Earl is a 31-year-old who lives near Overland in St. Louis County. She was
recently laid off from her job as a verification specialist for insurance
applicants under the Affordable Care Act. She’s never run for office before.

Earl told the Post-Dispatch that she opposes McCaskill’s call for bipartisan
fixes to the health care law. Earl says that doesn’t go far enough and said she
wants a single-payer health care plan.
