With Missouri's 2024 primaries less than a year away, political hopefuls are attempting to sway voters into their corners ahead of the election.
The 2024 Missouri primaries are less than a year away, and Gov. Mike Parson has yet to endorse a gubernatorial candidate.
At the annual Governor’s Ham Breakfast at the Missouri State Fair on Thursday, Parson said something he’s looking for is a continuation of his administration's work.
“We built one heck of a foundation in this state, and I want to make sure people have a vision and understand it works and is successful,” Parson said. “And I want to make sure they retain that.”
Three Republicans are vying for the position, and all were present at the breakfast.
Lt. Gov. Mike Kehoe said his strategy for his gubernatorial campaign is to continue to listen to Missourians on how to keep government out of their life. Kehoe said he believes Parson has done a good job.
“We would love to be able to continue to get the state moving in the right direction and improve on that the best we can,” Kehoe said.
