Rep. Kevin Elmer, Nixa, issued a public statement Tuesday saying Kinder’s “irresponsible decisions in his personal life have impugned his ability to lead publicly from a principled position.”
The remarks came after Kinder admitted to visiting a strip club in Illinois about10 times, 17 years ago.
Elmer said in his statement that Kinder should step down from seeking the governor’s office. Kinder has been gearing up to challenge Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon in the 2012 elections but has not officially announce his candidacy.
“It is inconsistent for Peter Kinder as the party’s highest ranking state official to speak about ensuring our rights to pursue life, liberty and property while he is willing in his behavior to devalue certain members of our society,”  Elmer stated in his press release.
