ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - Kim Gardner has won re-election as Circuit Attorney in the city of St. Louis.

Gardner, the city's first Black circuit attorney defeated Republican challenger Daniel Zdrodowski by a wide margin.

She's had clashes with Republican leaders in Missouri and President Donald Trump over her decision to file charges a St. Louis couple who pointed guns at protesters. Gardner also had a lawsuit thrown in which she claimed the City of St. Louis, a special prosecutor, the police union and others were involved in a "racially motivated conspiracy" to remove her from office.
