Missouri lieutenant governor Mike Kehoe is running for governor with a focus on a positive, bipartisan approach to politics. Despite facing attacks from opponents, Kehoe believes Missourians are tired of divisive campaign tactics. Raised in poverty in St. Louis, Kehoe built a successful business before entering politics. If elected governor, his top priority will be crime prevention, with a plan to increase support for law enforcement and address drug-related deaths, particularly from synthetic opioids like fentanyl. Kehoe also aims to eliminate Missouri’s income tax to boost economic development. Critics point to his past vote to lift a ban on foreign ownership of agricultural land, which allowed a Chinese company to acquire Smithfield Foods and Missouri farmland. Kehoe now supports reinstating the ban. As the favorite in the upcoming primary, Kehoe’s message of unity and practical solutions resonates with supporters who appreciate his ability to work with varied opinions. If elected governor, Kehoe promises to govern by listening to all perspectives and finding common ground to move Missouri forward.
