Voters on Tuesday promoted the lieutenant governor to be the state’s next chief executive. He will succeed GOP Gov. Mike Parson, who chose Kehoe to be his second-in-command in 2018. Parson is barred by term limits from seeking reelection. Voters named Kehoe the Republican gubernatorial nominee during a primary upset. He defeated the early favorite, Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft.
