MOFB President Garrett Hawkins issued the following statement:

"Congratulations to Governor-Elect Mike Kehoe. As a small businessman and entrepreneur, Mike knows the value of hard work. For nearly two years, he has hit the campaign trail and made connections with everyday Missourians all across the state. MOFB members know that Mike will bring that same work ethic, energy and integrity to the Governor's office. We look forward to working with him and his cabinet to make Missouri the best place to raise a family."
