Alpha Media Moberly, Missouri

In June of 2018 Mike Parson became Missouri’s governor after Eric Greitens resigned from office. He earned re-election in 2020 by defeating then State Auditor Nicole Galloway. Now in his final year as governor, Parson reflected on his tenure.

Parson got his political career started in 1993 as Polk County Sheriff. He went on to serve in the state house and senate from 2004 to 2016 before becoming lieutenant governor. A total of eight candidates have declared for the 2024 Missouri gubernatorial election. Parson shared his thoughts on the crowded field.
