Evans named new Mo. Republican party executive director

Another state representative is leaving the Missouri House early.

Jean Evans is taking over as Executive Director of the Missouri Republican party.

Evans first won election to her St. Louis County House district in 2016. She just got re-elected last November. She is not the first person to leave elected office early lately.

Republicans have a super-majority in the Missouri House and Senate, and hold all but one state-wide office.
