It might not come as a surprise to those in southwest Missouri that Mike Parson was herding cattle on his Bolivar farm when he found out that he'll become the 57th governor of Missouri come Friday.
Missouri Lt. Gov. Parson will finish out Eric Greitens’ term after the governor announced his resignation Tuesday. Some say the two are polar opposites in government.
The differences, according to the Kansas City Star, begin with this:
Greitens is 44, born and reared near St. Louis, and never sought public office before his successful 2016 gubernatorial campaign.
Parson is 63, grew up on a farm in rural southwest Missouri and has held elected office since 1993, including 12 years as Polk County sheriff and 11 years in the Missouri General Assembly before being elected lieutenant governor in 2016.
