And Lt Governor Kinder is now throwing his hat into the ring. One of the ways he announces? Here on his blog! Oh, brave new world.
As Lt. Governor and President Pro Tem I have brought fundamental change to state government. I have served as a change agent my entire career and look forward to continuing my positive leadership.
Missourians deserve a strong economy to create new higher paying jobs, a world class education, and affordable and accessible health care.
I am the right person to deliver the positive change Missourians deserve.
I am heartened by the outpouring of support and I will formally announce my plans for Governor in the coming weeks.</p>
