Retired Lieutenant Colonel Keith Gudehus spent over 20 years in the United States Army, returning home to Edina, MO, to dedicate himself to serving his family and community. A teacher, coach, and administrator in the Knox County R-I School District with Master's Degrees in Accounting and Educational Leadership, he will bring not only a military background, but a plethora of experience in local leadership to the Missouri House. Additionally, he continues to help run his family farm.

​

In an era of attacks on traditional conservative values, Gudehus is running to preserve Northeast Missouri's rural way of life. Alongside upholding the First and Second Amendments of the Constitution, the campaign platform includes supporting veterans and law enforcement, keeping schools safe and strong, and backing family farms and businesses in this uncertain economic environment. It's time to root out corruption and ensure politicians are held accountable.

​

Keith and his wife, Jackie, are the proud parents of four and ecstatic grandparents of two. Beyond his professional and family obligations, Gudehus volunteers his time with the VFW, American Legion, and the Knox County Community Center Board.

​

A lifelong conservative Republican, Gudehus aims to uphold his oath to protect the Constitution from all threats foreign and domestic.
