Candidate Galloway to hold Friday news conference in Joplin

Missouri State Auditor and Democratic Gubernatorial candidate Nicole Galloway will hold a Friday-morning news conference in Joplin. She will meet members of the press at 9 a.m. at 1601 S. Maiden Lane.

Galloway's statewide tour earlier in the week includes press conferences in Hannibal and Cape Girardeau and the opening of the Pettis County Democratic office in Sedalia.

At the events, Galloway will discuss her vision for Missouri, including the importance of expanding Medicaid, COVID-19 and the re-opening of schools amid a national and international pandemic.

Galloway is locked in a contentious race against Republican incumbent Gov. Mike Parson.
