Fourteen hours after the race was called, Governor-Elect Mike Kehoe laid out his plans for building his cabinet and pursuing policy initiatives he touted during his campaign. “We’re excited to actually get out and start governing,” Kehoe said. “It’s a new world for me because I’m not used to people catering to me.”

Republican Mike Kehoe held a news conference Wednesday after his win in the governor's race over Democratic candidate Crystal Quade. Kehoe led Quade by more than 400,000 votes, or about 13.7% of votes.
