Mike Kehoe Wins GOP Primary Race for Missouri Governor
HuffPost
The lieutenant governor supported bans on gender-affirming care for minors and could help push forward more anti-LGBTQ legislation.
Missouri Lt. Gov. Mike Kehoe on Tuesday emerged as the victor in the crowded GOP primary for governor.
Kehoe along with two other front-runners, state Sen. Bill Eigel and Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft, made headlines last week after they received a crucial endorsement from former President Donald Trump.
“They are MAGA and America First all the way,” Trump posted on his conservative social media platform Truth Social.
Kehoe has generally supported bans on gender-affirming care for minors and efforts to restrict transgender girls from participating in sports. But a decade ago he voted in favor of adding anti-discrimination protections for gays and lesbians into state law. If elected as governor, however, Kehoe could help push forward even more anti-LGBTQ legislation from the Republican-led legislature.
Missouri has already enacted several anti-LGBTQ policies and has had a Republican supermajority in all of its statewide elected offices since 2022.
