JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – The Missouri Department of Transportation has released a video question and answer with new director Patrick McKenna.
McKenna answers questions as to his background and what he hopes to achieve.
“With the legislative session coming up shortly after I arrive, I think I’ll need to spend a lot of time getting to know legislators, getting to work through the committee process, gaining some of that sense of trust and getting to know each other,” McKenna said.
Rachael Herndon was the editor at The Missouri Times and also produced This Week in Missouri Politics, published Missouri Times Magazine, and co-hosted the #MoLeg podcast. She joined The Missouri Times in 2014, returning to political reporting after working as a campaign and legislative staffer.
