Former state lawmaker Judy Baker's quest to become Missouri's next state treasurer has advanced with her victory in the Democratic primary.

Baker defeated one-time U.S. diplomat Pat Contreras on Tuesday.

Baker advances to face Republican state Sen. Eric Schmitt and Libertarian Sean O'Toole in the Nov. 8 election. Schmitt and O'Toole were unopposed Tuesday.

The current treasurer, Democrat Clint Zweifel, is barred by state term limits from running.
