Missouri Gov. Parson changes five members of cabinet

Published



Missouri Republican Gov. Mike Parson announced several changes to his cabinet on Tuesday, including the immediate resignation of longtime Republican Sarah Steelman as the commissioner of the office of administration.

“I think the reality is for three years we took the cabinet we had before when I first became governor,” Parson said in an interview with The Center Square, referring to the resignation of Gov. Eric Greitens in 2018. “We wanted to make sure we got our feet on the ground. But then were several crises and then COVID. We just really haven’t had a chance to just evaluate and make some changes. So I don’t think it’s anything different than what other governors do. It’s just a matter of making some changes that as governor I want to do.”
