Lieutenant Governor of Missouri

CHAPTER 2 EXECUTIVE BRANCH

“The passage of the 19th amendment was a critical moment in our nation’s history not only because it gave women the right to vote, but also because it served as acknowledgement of the many significant contributions women have made to our society, and will make in the future. As the voice of the people of my legislative district, I know I stand upon the shoulders of the efforts of great women such as Susan B. Anthony and the many others who worked so diligently to advance the suffrage movement.” Representative Sara Walsh (R-50)

¹At the time of the elections of McNair, Bates and Williams, and of the first election of Miller in 1825, there were no organized political parties in Missouri. Individual popularity prevailed. All called themselves Jeffersonian Republicans, or what now are called Democrats. ²Marmaduke was elected Lt. Governor in 1840. Upon the death of Governor Thomas Reynolds in February 1844, Marmaduke became governor. He served the remainder of that year, because John Cummins Edwards was elected. 40 OFFICIAL MANUAL

³Soon after Polk was inaugurated, the Legislature convened and elected him by 101 votes to be a U.S. Senator. He resigned to take that office in February 1857. His occupancy of the governor’s office was shorter than any other governor of Missouri. 4Jackson was Lt. Governor under Polk and became acting governor after Polk resigned in February 1857. He served until October of that year when Robert Stewart took office. Stewart was elected at a special election in August 1857. 5Gamble was elected provisional governor by the Missouri State Convention on July 31, 1861. The office had been declared vacated after Governor Claiborne Fox Jackson joined the Confederacy. 6Unionist. 7Radical. 8Liberal. 9Gov. Stephens is credited with creating the State Fair in Sedalia. 10Some held multiple terms as governor. In consideration of space, some are listed here only once. 11Wilson became Missouri’s 52nd governor on October 17, 2000, upon the death of Governor Mel Carnahan. 12Parson became Missouri’s 57th governor on June 1, 2018, upon the resignation of Governor Eric Greitens. “Progress has never been easy in this country. Women had to fight and fight and fight for something as fundamental as access to the voting booth. Eventually, we won, and I think that shows the tenacity and strength of the American woman.” Senator Jamilah Nasheed (D-5)

“As a female legislator in the 100th General Assembly, I thank all of the women who have gone before me to make this possible and honor those women who stepped up and fought so courageously for the right to vote.” Representative Becky Ruth (R-114)
