2024 Missouri governor campaign

During a Thursday speech in Springfield, Missouri Gov. Mike Parson noted that the 2024 election cycle will soon be a hot topic. But he said later that he wasn’t ready to make any endorsements.

Ozarks Democrat Crystal Quade formally announced her run for governor at a coffeeship in her Springfield district Monday. If she is elected, she would be the first woman in Missouri to hold the office.

Early on Sunday, a top Missouri Democrat from the Ozarks announced she’s running for governor.
