Despite Missourians voting to legalize abortion 10 months ago, Planned Parenthood remains unable to prescribe abortion medication — the most common kind of abortion — to patients.

Hanaway said her priorities are to "fight crime" and "protect Missourians." But defended Andrew Bailey’s track record of getting involved in high-profile, national political and cultural issues.

Andrew Bailey officially left the Missouri attorney general's office yesterday to take on a new position at the FBI.

After the resignation of Andrew Bailey to serve in the Trump administration, Catherine Hanaway will be Missouri's fourth attorney general since 2018. She was the first and only woman to serve as speaker of Missouri House of Representatives, and unsuccessfully ran twice for statewide office.

Bailey’s short tenure as attorney general was defined by confrontation with the federal government and local officials, as well as accusations of corruption, incompetence and grandstanding.
