Kelly Broniec’s appointment to the state’s highest court creates a women-led majority. Gov. Mike Parson also appointed Broniec to the Eastern District Court of Appeals in 2020.
Kelly Broniec, chief judge of the Missouri Court of Appeals’ Eastern District, will be the next judge on the Missouri Supreme Court.
Gov. Mike Parson, appointed Broniec, Tuesday. Her appointment to the state’s highest court comes nearly three years after Parson appointed Broniec to the Eastern District.
“I will do my best to bring common sense, practicality and respect for the rule of law to my work at the court, along with the important values of humility, kindness, and hard work that I learned from my grandparents,” Broniec said.
Broniec, 52, will be sworn in within the next 30 days. She will replace Judge George W. Draper III, who retired last month just before turning 70, which is the statutory age for retirement for the court.
Parson said he was impressed by Broniec’s work ethic.

..."In what he’s looking for when he appoints a replacement for Breckenridge, Parson said he wants candidates who will enforce the law.
“Picking a lot of these judges I've picked, it's not always about politics, by no means. It's about who really knows it and who will go in there and read the law, enforce the law the way it’s written, not on their opinions,” Parson said “And I think that's one of the things you look at and I look at judges that I feel like will do that.”...
