JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – The Missouri Republican Party congratulates Mike Kehoe on winning the Republican nomination for Governor and we encourage Republicans across the state to unite behind his campaign to help secure a victory this November.
His decisive victory in the primary reflects his strong, common-sense vision for Missouri, grounded in conservative values that prioritize the well-being and prosperity of all Missourians.
Mike Kehoe has shown unwavering dedication to protecting our state from the overreach of big government and liberal extremism. His plan for Missouri focuses on lowering taxes, making food, clothes, and everyday items less expensive, supporting our farmers and small businesses, standing with our law enforcement and public safety officials to make our communities safe, and improving our educational system for the next generation of Missouri’s kids.
Mike Kehoe’s leadership stands in clear contrast with the dangerous and radical policies championed by his liberal opponent, Crystal Quade. Crystal Quade, the Democratic candidate for governor, has consistently aligned herself with the woke liberal agenda that is forcing Missouri families to pay more for everyday needs like food, clothes and their homes. She has stood with violent criminals rather than their victims and made our streets and neighborhoods less safe. She supports an open border policy that has allowed millions of illegal immigrants to come across our border, putting a strain on our healthcare and education system while allowing fentanyl and other deadly drugs to flow into our communities.
And she pushes a radical social agenda that supports gender reassignment surgeries for minors. It is clear her agenda would hurt Missouri families and take our state in the wrong direction. Quade’s policy proposals mirror the failed approaches of the Biden-Harris administration, which have caused significant harm to our state and nation over the past four years. From economic mismanagement to unchecked federal overreach, the results have been clear: Missourians deserve better.
Nick Myers, Chairman of the Missouri Republican Party, expressed his enthusiasm for Kehoe’s candidacy: “The choice in this election couldn’t be clearer. Mike Kehoe represents the hardworking values of Missourians, while Crystal Quade’s platform is a direct attack on our state’s principles.We are confident that under Kehoe’s leadership, Missouri will continue to thrive and uphold the conservative principles we cherish.” The Missouri Republican Party stands with Mike Kehoe and looks forward to working jointly to ensure overwhelming victories for the entire GOP ticket this November. Together, we can ensure a prosperous future for Missouri, rooted in freedom, security, and opportunity for all.
