Lt. Gov. Mike Kehoe, appointed to the position by Missouri Gov. Mike Parson in June 2018, is now running on his own record.

Missouri's governor and lieutenant governor don't run on the same ticket, but they have worked hand-in-hand over the last two years, says Lt. Gov. Mike Kehoe. He discussed much of that work, including responding to the coronavirus pandemic and safeguarding the Second Amendment rights of Missourians.
