About Governor Mike Kehoe
Governor Kehoe previously served on the Missouri Highway & Transportation Commission and in the Missouri Senate, where he championed balanced budgets, fully funded schools, and policies to reduce regulatory burdens, cut taxes, and create jobs. As Missouri’s 47th Lieutenant Governor, he highlighted the state’s businesses, agriculture, and tourism while serving as a voice for veterans and seniors.
A first-generation farmer and longtime advocate for Missouri agriculture, Governor Kehoe and his wife, Claudia, own and operate a 700-acre cattle farm in Phelps and Pulaski counties. They are the proud parents of four adult children and delighted new grandparents.
