Missouri Governor

Soon after being sworn in, Kehoe signed executive orders requiring law enforcement to include the immigration status of individuals in arrest reports, and authorized the creation of a program called "Operation Relentless Pursuit.”

Jessica Bax is the new director of the Missouri Department of Social Services.

Kehoe has served as Missouri's lieutenant governor since 2018.

Of the statewide races in Missouri this election, the gubernatorial contest is the closest, according to polling, but Republican Lt. Gov. Mike Kehoe had a commanding 10% lead over Democratic state Rep. Crystal Quade.

Quade will face Republican gubernatorial nominee Mike Kehoe in November.

Lt. Gov. Mike Kehoe beat eight opponents to win the nomination, including Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft and state Sen. Bill Eigel.

Missouri voters will decide who faces off in November in contests for Governor, the U.S. House and the U.S. Senate.

Former President Donald Trump said all of the three leading candidates have his endorsement.

In the Democratic primary for Missouri governor, the frontrunners are House Minority Leader Crystal Quade and businessman Mike Hamra.

While Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft is a licensed attorney, he has never been licensed as a professional engineer.
