Democrat Nicole Galloway is challenging Missouri Governor Mike Parson on the ballot this Nov. 3.

As governor the Missouri state auditor would issue a statewide mask mandate, work to expand Medicaid and cut "government waste and abuses."

"My plan to fight COVID is based on science, mitigation and containment," said Governor Parson's Democratic challenger. Nicole Galloway will find revenue for areas like education not by raising taxes but by cutting waste in government.
