Lieutenant Governor Mike Kehoe is officially running for Missouri governor in 2024.

Kehoe posted a campaign video on Twitter featuring Tuesday’s Fire Fighters Day event at the state Capitol,

“We think our message of somebody who has actually run a business and had experience in both the urban neighborhoods of St. Louis and now the rural areas of our family farm outside of Rolla is a combination that works for Missouri. And I cannot do it without Missouri’s firefighters.”

Then state Senator Kehoe was appointed lieutenant governor in 2018 by Governor Parson after the resignation of ex-Governor Eric Grietens. No other candidates have officially announced they’re running for governor in 2024.
