Tom Schweich (R-MO, Auditor) was a declared candidate for the next gubernatorial race.

Jaw Dropping
Here is the crux of the text:
I have no idea why Schweich killed himself. But for the past several days he had been confiding in me that he planned to accuse the chairman of the Missouri Republican Party, John Hancock, with leading a “whisper campaign” among donors that he, Schweich, was Jewish.
He wasn’t, which is to say that he attended an Episcopal church, but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t proud of his Jewish heritage, passed down from his grandfather.
Missouri is the state that gave us Frazier Glenn Miller, the raging racist who last year killed three people at a Jewish community center in Kansas City. It’s the state in which on the day before Schweich died, the Anti-Defamation League reported on a rise of white supremacist prison gangs in the state.
Division over race and creed is real in Missouri Republican politics, particularly in some rural areas. Schweich knew it. It’s why all week long his anger burned.
Apparently, St Louis Post-Dispatch's Tony Messenger, who made that claim, is telling the truth.

It's shame that this man took his own life. It's even more of a shame that even to hit at Judaism in his family is apparently enough to tarnish a Republican in the state of Missouri.
Again, this is a story of a Republican who killed himself and who confided to the STL reporter that a smear campaign was being launched against him by another Republican, claiming that he was Jewish.
But of course, there is no Right-Wing anti-semitism, right? WRONG.
I am sure that considerably more is going to come out in this story. This is just the start.
