Mike Kehoe 58th Governor of Missouri

Mike Kehoe was sworn in as Missouri’s 58th Governor on January 13, 2025. Guided by a lifelong dedication to public service and a commitment to Missouri families, Governor Kehoe has made public safety, education, economic development, and agriculture the cornerstones of his administration.

Raised as the youngest of six children by a single mother who worked tirelessly to support her family, Governor Kehoe learned the value of hard work and resilience at an early age. Starting his career washing cars at 15, he advanced through the automotive industry to become one of the youngest Ford dealers in the nation.

The Governor’s entrepreneurial success and leadership skills in his early career naturally drew him to public service, where he could use his experience to improve the lives of Missouri families and strengthen the state’s economy.
