JEFFERSON CITY - Governor Mike Parson is set to give the 2021 State of the State address on Wednesday at 3 p.m.Â
The State of the State address is a time for the Governor to outline policy and budget goals for the year. Parson's office has said little though about the contents of his 2021 speech. Some mid-Missouri state representatives are anticipating COVID-19 to lead the conversation, especially when it comes to the economy, education and vaccine distribution.Â
To Sara Walsh, the Republican representative of District 50 and the Majority Caucus Chair, the State of the State address this year is an opportunity for Parson to establish the next steps in handling the pandemic.
