However, multiple people affiliated with Greitens and his campaign work for the Jefferson City nonprofit, including his campaign manager, campaign treasurer and sister-in-law, according to the Kansas City Star.

Greitens would not announce a special session or the reasons why he would call for one. He had expressed support for one if a REAL ID measure, allowing Missourians to board planes with their driver's licenses, did not pass. However, the measure was approved.
