Kehoe announced the pick less than a day after Bailey said he would resign next month to serve as co-deputy director of the FBI.
Catherine Hanaway, a prosecutor in St. Louis, is the first woman to serve as attorney general in the state’s history.
Bailey, appointed in 2022 by former Gov. Mike Parson, is the third Missouri Attorney General in six years to leave for a position in Washington, D.C.
In a 7-0 ruling, the court said Bailey should not have skipped the court of appeals in his quest to overturn the circuit court’s order.
