Missouri gubernatorial appointments and leadership changes

Overview

Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe has issued several appointments to state boards and leadership positions.

In mid-August, the Governor announced eight appointments and reappointments to various state boards and commissions. These selections included individuals with expertise in medicine, healthcare, business, education, engineering, government, and law. Notable appointees included Dr. Elizabeth Bowman to the Drug Utilization Review Board and Jessica Deadmond to the Missouri Workforce Development Board.

By late August, the focus shifted to leadership changes within state departments. Governor Kehoe named Jake Buxton, the current deputy director of the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (DNR), as the new director of the DNR, pending Senate confirmation. Additionally, Kurt Schaefer was named commissioner of the Office of Administration, succeeding the retiring Kenneth Zellers.
