In 2012, he was the Republican nominee for one of the most-watched races for the [[U.S. Senate]] in 2012, which he lost against the incumbent [[Democratic]] [[senator]] [[Claire McCaskill]] when a [[libertarian]] candidate siphoned off support. Akin was first elected to Congress in 2000. Prior to that he served twelve years in two different districts in the Missouri General Assembly. He was replaced in the second district House seat by fellow Republican Ann L. Wagner.

Todd Akin repeatedly won upset victories against more [[liberal]] opponents who have spent far more money than he has, and lost only after the [[liberal media]] made it a priority to defeat him and [[pro-aborts]] nationwide poured money into the campaign of his opponent.
