From a grain elevator tour in the Kansas City area to a meeting with the St. Louis Metropolitan Clergy Coalition, Gov. Mike Parson had a busy week.
Missouri’s chief executive joined U.S. Congressman Emanuel Cleaver II, Missouri Department of Agriculture Director Chris Chinn, Agricultural Business Council of Greater Kansas City representatives, and USMCA Coalition-Washington representatives aboard Kansas City Southern’s Southern Belle train to tour and learned more about grain elevators located throughout Missouri’s 5th district Friday.
Before the event began, Parson held a ceremonial signing of SCR 4 naming the Kansas City Chiefs as the official football team of Missouri.
Today we signed SCR 4 — designating the @Chiefs as the official NFL team of the state of Missouri!
Great to join Senator @KikiCurls who championed this legislation. It’s good to be a Chiefs fan! #ChiefsKingdom pic.twitter.com/Gi97qT4Vs8
