Friday, April 7, 2023 at 12:00 AM

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Missouri Secretary of State John “Jay” Ashcroft announced Thursday morning he is running for governor in 2024.

Ashcroft, 49, was elected as Secretary of State in November 2016 and again in 2020. He is an attorney and engineer for trade. In 2014, he ran for a state senate seat in St. Louis County but did not win.

The Ashcroft name is well known throughout Missouri, not only because of his successful terms as Secretary of State but also his father, who served as a U.S. Senator before becoming U.S. Attorney General in 2001. John Ashcroft also was appointed as Missouri State Auditor by Gov. Kit Bond and, in 1976, he was elected to the first of two terms as Missouri Attorney General before becoming governor in 1984.
