Missouri Gov. Mike Parson announced on Nov. 23 that he has appointed his former general counsel Andrew Bailey to succeed state Attorney General Eric Schmitt, who was elected to the U.S. Senate earlier this month.
Bailey will complete Schmitt’s term, which ends in 2024. Schmitt won the Senate seat after defeating his Democrat rival, Trudy Busch Valentine, by a vote margin of 14.8 percent.
