Missouri Treasurer Clint Zweifel is ruling out a run for governor in 2016.
Zweifel, a Democrat, is prohibited by term limits from seeking a third term as treasurer.
He had been mentioned along with Democratic Attorney General Chris Koster as a potential successor to Democratic Governor Jay Nixon.
But Zweifel campaign manager Mike Pridmore said Monday that the state treasurer will not run for governor in 2016 because he want's to spend more time with his family.
Firefighters remain on the scene of a smokey fire that's destroyed a metro-east salvage yard. Cahokia fire officials say the blaze broke out about 2:30 Monday afternoon at Marty's Salvage Yard in the 2000 block of Camp Jackson Road.
Burning tires and auto parts created a huge column of black smoke that could be seen for miles. The thick smoke prompted authorities to bring in HazMat crews.
Firefighters could remain at the scene all night as they deal with hot spots.
Investigators are still trying to determine the cause of the fire.
Cahokia Assistant Fire Chief Stephen Robbins says there were two minor injuries -- a salvage yard worker and a firefighter who suffered smoke inhalation.
