Missouri's own Governor Mike Kehoe just made waves in the local political scene with his latest appointments. According to an official release from the Governor's Office, Kehoe has named G. David Briggs as the new Schuyler County Prosecuting Attorney and Tonya Hillhouse as the Pemiscot County Circuit Clerk. These choices speak volumes about the Governor's commitment to strengthening the state's legal and administrative framework.
Briggs, who has been holding down the fort as interim prosecuting attorney for Schuyler County, will juggle his responsibilities with his ongoing role in Scotland County. A legal veteran with a tenure spanning over two decades, his experience is peppered with a commitment to community service, articulated through his past involvement with charitable endeavors such as the Salvation Army Advisory Board.
On the other side of the coin, Hillhouse brings a blend of legal and social service expertise to the table. Her background in clerical work, complemented by her time as a caseworker with the Missouri Department of Social Services, gives her an intimate understanding of the human stories behind the legal documents she'll handle. Not one to separate her work from the community, Hillhouse's presence in local commerce manifests through her active membership in the Caruthersville Chamber of Commerce.
These appointments fill key positions with experienced legal professionals. Briggs graduated from the University of Arkansas School of Law, and Hillhouse is certified by the State Technical College. Both have backgrounds suited to the responsibilities of their new roles in the administration of justice.
