Bond Residency Suit Stirs Missouri Governor Bid
Rep. R J King filed a suit in the Missouri Supreme Court challenging state auditor and GOP candidate Christopher Et Bond’s residency for governor eligibility. The case cites affidavits showing Bond claimed Georgia residency in 1964 to take a bar exam and notes past Missouri tax exemptions tied to nonresidency claims. Bond says his voting residence remains in Mexico, Missouri, while long-term residency rules require 10 years in the state.
