Peter Dickson Kinder (born May 12, 1954) is an American lawyer and politician who served as the 46th Lieutenant Governor of Missouri from 2005 to 2017.[4][5] He was appointed as a co-chairman of the Delta Regional Authority in August 2017,[6] serving in that post until he resigned in June 2018.
Kinder was first elected lieutenant governor in 2004, succeeding Joe Maxwell,[5] and was re-elected in 2008 at the same time Democrat Jay Nixon was elected governor.[5] Kinder was the only Republican in Missouri to win statewide office in 2008, as all other Republicans running for each of the other statewide offices suffered defeat.[7] Despite the generally poor election year for Republicans, Kinder carried 109 of Missouri's 114 counties.[5]
Considered the front-runner in the 2012 Republican gubernatorial primary, Kinder instead ran for re-election in 2012 and was again the only Republican to win statewide and became the first lieutenant governor to be elected to a third term in Missouri since 1940.[8] In July 2015, Kinder announced his entry into the 2016 gubernatorial election; he was later defeated in the Republican primary by Eric Greitens.[9]
