The newly named Circuit Attorney for St. Louis took the oath of office during a ceremony at 11 o'clock this morning at the Carnahan Courthouse.
Gabriel (Gabe) Gore was appointed by Governor Parson as interim Circuit Attorney to serve out the remaining term of Kim Gardner, who resigned from the post amid allegations of mismanagement.
"We're proud to see Mr. Gore sworn in as Circuit Attorney as he helps usher in a new day for the City of St. Louis," Governor Mike Parson said. "Restoring law and order to St. Louis and faith in the criminal justice system is no small task, but Mr. Gore is qualified, committed to the rule of law, and, like so many St. Louis families, has a personal stake in the future success of the community. He is the right man, at the right time, to do right by the people of St. Louis, and we welcome him to the job and look forward to his common sense leadership."
