Republican Lt. Gov. Mike Kehoe won election to a full term as Missouri lieutenant governor.
The Associated Press called the race just after 10:30 p.m. Tuesday.
As of approximately 10:45 p.m., Kehoe had won more than 62 percent of the votes cast statewide in the race, with 1,971 of 3,692 precincts reporting, according to unofficial results from the Missouri Secretary of State's Office.
Kehoe became lieutenant governor in 2018 after Gov. Mike Parson appointed him - after Parson's ascension to the governorship following former Gov. Eric Greitens' resignation left the lieutenant governorship vacant.
Kehoe was previously a state senator for eight years, representing Jefferson City in the 6th District.
Kehoe's principal rival in the lieutenant governor's race was Democratic candidate Alissia Canady - an attorney and former Kansas City Council member.
As of approximately 10:45 p.m., Canady had won 34.96 percent of the vote.
In Cole County, according to final unofficial results released by local election officials Tuesday, Kehoe won 72.29 percent of the 39,257 votes cast in the race. Canady won 24.87 percent of Cole County votes cast.
In the November 2014 general election, Kehoe won his second state Senate term with more than 75 percent of the total 22,644 votes cast in Cole County. Of the 47,498 votes cast in total for that state senate election, Kehoe won more than 79 percent of the vote.
