– The new St. Louis circuit attorney will be sworn in and with a backlog of thousands of case. Gabe Gore will certainly have his hands full.

Governor Mike Parson appointed Gabe Gore less than two weeks ago. The governor’s legal council, Evan Rodriguez has been serving as interim circuit attorney, and Tuesday, will officially be his last day. This all comes as Kim Gardner initially announced her resignation earlier this month.

Gore lives, works, and raised his family in St. Louis, and those are some of the reasons why Governor Parson shared that he appointed the former federal prosecutor. He was a partner at the law firm Dowd Bennet and worked there for more than a decade, according to Gore’s LinkedIn.

18 candidates applied for the circuit St. Louis attorney job, and the governor narrowed it down to three finalists before his announcement of gore on May 19. The governor said that Gore was not a political pick, and it’s important to mention this appointment is only temporary.
