Missouri appoints new state auditor after suicide of predecessor

Missouri's governor named a 32-year-old county treasurer and former insurance auditor as the new state auditor on Tuesday, following the suicide in February of the prior auditor. Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon appointed Boone County Treasurer Nicole Galloway to serve out the term of Tom Schweich, who officials said shot himself to death, until it ends in January 2019. She replaces interim state auditor John Watson. "Tom Schweich’s death was a terrible loss for our state and a deeply personal tragedy for his family and loved ones,” Nixon said in a statement.
