The day following Tuesday’s red-wave election, Missouri Governor-elect Mike Kehoe announced that planning for the transition has begun, as Missouri Gov. Mike Parson's final term winds down.

Update: Kehoe and his transition director Adam Gresham have announced other members of the transition team. The announcement Thursday followed a Wednesday press conference naming Gresham as the transition director.

Other members of the transition team are:

  • Lowell Pearson – General Counsel
  • Bill Anderson – Policy
  • Casey Adrian – Operations
  • Gabby Picard – Communications
  • Jamie Birch – Policy
  • Drew Dampf – Legislation
  • Amanda Holtmeyer – Administration

Original story:

In a written statement, Kehoe said, “We will assemble an administration that is ready to build a safer, stronger, more prosperous state for all Missourians.”

Kehoe will be inaugurated on January 13, 2025. In the meantime, his new transition director Adam Gresham will begin team efforts to craft the incoming Kehoe administration’s staffing, policy priorities and budget proposal.

Gresham served as an intelligence officer the U.S. Marine Corps. He’s worked for Kehoe for many years, most recently as chief of staff in the lieutenant governor’s office.

Kehoe said later this week, more transition team members will be appointed.
