Missouri Governor Mike Parson has officially endorsed Lieutenant Governor Mike Kehoe for Missouri’s next governor, citing Kehoe’s conservative leadership and ability to get things done. The endorsement comes after Kehoe received support from organizations such as the Missouri Farm Bureau, Missouri Cattlemen’s Association, and public safety groups like the Missouri Fraternal Order of Police, State Troopers Association, and Missouri State Council of Firefighters.
Parson also endorsed State Treasurer Vivek Malek and Attorney General Andrew Bailey, who are both running for reelection. Kehoe, who currently serves as Missouri’s Lt. Governor, has seen a surge in the polls recently and has raised a significant amount of campaign funding through his American Dream PAC. He faces two opponents in the August primary, Senator Bill Eigel and Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft, but has maintained a lead in both polls and campaign funding.
Kehoe expressed gratitude for Parson’s endorsement and promised to build on the foundation laid by the current governor to make Missouri an even better place for its residents. As the primary election approaches, all three candidates have intensified their campaigns, making stops across the state and releasing campaign ads.
The impact of Parson’s endorsement on the final outcome of the primary remains to be seen, but with Kehoe’s growing popularity and support, he is positioned as a strong contender for the governorship. Stay tuned as the race heats up in the final weeks leading up to the August 6 primary.
