Background

Biography

Mike Kehoe was born on January 17, 1962. The National Governors Association gives his birth state as Missouri and lists Chaminade College Preparatory School as his school. His official biography says he began working at 15 washing cars, advanced through the automotive industry to become a Ford dealer, and later turned around Osage Industries, an ambulance manufacturing company in Linn, Missouri. It also says he owns and operates a 700-acre cattle farm in Phelps and Pulaski counties.

Kehoe spent four and a half years on the Missouri Highway and Transportation Commission. He was elected to the Missouri Senate in 2010 and served as Senate majority floor leader. He then served as Missouri's 47th lieutenant governor.

He was sworn in as Missouri's 58th governor on January 13, 2025. The National Governors Association lists that date as the start of his term.
