Former federal prosecutor Gabriel Gore appointed as new St. Louis Circuit Attorney.
Missouri Governor Mike Parson has appointed Gabriel Gore, a former federal prosecutor and current private practice lawyer, as the new St. Louis circuit attorney, succeeding Kim Gardner. Gore, a Republican, was expected to be replaced by a Democrat, but Parson chose him instead. Gore will face the challenge of stabilizing an office that has been in crisis for some time, with Gardner facing immense criticism for being unable to hire and retain staff.
