Missouri is swearing in a new Attorney General today.
Governor Mike Parson appointed Bailey to the post after Attorney General Eric Schmitt won his US Senate race to replace Senator Roy Blunt.
Bailey is the second AG appointed by Governor Parson.
Bailey served as an officer in the United States Army in operation Iraqi Freedom in response to the 9/11 attacks. Following his time in service, Bailey attended the University of Missouri School of Law, beginning his legal career.
