JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Republican Lt. Gov. Mike Kehoe won the Missouri governor’s race Tuesday, defeating Democratic challenger Crystal Quade to maintain the GOP’s grip on the state’s government.
“To all Missourians, this is your victory,” Kehoe said in prepared remarks provided to reporters."Enjoy tonight because tomorrow morning, we get to work together for an even safer, stronger, and more prosperous Missouri.” Kehoe had been heavily favored to win. Republicans control Missouri’s state House and state Senate, and no Democrats serve in any statewide office. The last Democrat to serve in statewide office was former Auditor Nicole Galloway, who had been appointed to the position in 2015 and won reelection in 2020. She left office in 2023.
Kehoe opposed the amendment and during a September debate said it would go too far. But he has also said he is open to amending the state’s law banning abortions to allow exceptions in cases of rape and incest. Kehoe edged out early favorite Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft during this year’s expensive GOP primary.
