Mike Kehoe Wins Missouri GOP Nomination for Governor

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.—Lt. Gov. Mike Kehoe won the inside track to take the Missouri governor’s mansion in November.

Missouri Republican primary voters on Aug. 6 picked Kehoe over his closest GOP challengers. As of 12:15 a.m. ET on Aug. 7, with more than 95 percent of the vote counted, Kehoe took 39.4 percent of the vote. He prevailed over Missouri state Sen. Bill Eigel, with 32.5 percent of the vote, and Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft, who came in third at 23.3 percent.

“I am so proud of the race we ran, but this campaign also exposed some deep divisions within our party. So let me say this: The future of Missouri is too important for the Republican Party to be reduced to finger-pointing and name-calling,” Kehoe told supporters at his watch party.


“We have to join together if we’re going to defeat our common foe. And make no mistake: our common foe is the bad policies pushed by Washington.”
