St. Louis attorney Mike Colona is one step closer to a seat in the Missouri House of Representatives. He won the Democratic primary over four other candidates, taking an impressive 42 percent of the primary vote.

Not bad for a man who was concerned his work with X99 Media (parent of Citiboyz Video) could hinder his chances for the nomination. He worked as the company's custodian of records, responsible for maintaining proof-of-age records to prove the X99 Media complied with federal obscenity regulations. When political opponents tried to use the information against him, he made sure to explain his work to potential voters.

"A small part of my job is to ensure no minors are exploited by the pornography industry," Colona told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "Some of my opponents want to mischaracterize the work I've done. Make no mistake, my work is focused on keeping kids safe."

The  Republicans are not putting forward a candidate so Colona should be a shoo-in for the House of Reps election.
