Governor, it's time!... You have the opportunity to make history by appointing the first African-American Statewide Elected Official as Missouri Auditor.

     In 1920, the first African-American was elected to the MO House of Representatives. Forty years later, the first African-American was elected to the MO Senate. Thirty-five years after that, we saw the first African-American State Supreme Court Judge. Yet, nearly 100 years after racial barriers were first broken in Missouri government, still no racial diversity exists in statewide office holders.  Governor, it's time to appoint a qualified African-American as our State Auditor.  Make the change Governor Nixon!   Make history!
