Reps. Cori Bush (D-MO) and Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO) called on Gov. Mike Parson (R-MO) to stay the execution of a veteran.

David Hosier, 69, is scheduled to be executed Tuesday for the murders of his ex-girlfriend, Angela Gilpin, and her husband, Rodney Gilpin. Hosier served in the U.S. Navy and also worked for the Jefferson City Fire Department. The Democratic lawmakers sent Parson a letter Friday, encouraging the Missouri governor to stop Hosier’s execution as the only one with the power to do so.
