Policy: Kehoe has long touted himself as a friend of business and agriculture, having run a farm and owned car dealerships. He has also used his office to build support among veterans.

Like his opponents, Kehoe plans to be tough on crime, open up public funding for private and charter schools, support agriculture and promote Missouri business, Kehoe has said. He is the only candidate who claims Mid-Missouri as home who is running for a statewide office.
