Parson, a former Sheriff and Missouri state representative, employed a “balanced approach” to the coronavirus pandemic and allowed schools and businesses to remain open, despite other states mandating closures, according to The News and Observer. The Republican also campaigned on law and order amid nationwide unrest following the death of George Floyd, the local outlet reported.
