A local attorney has been appointed to fill an opening for the 43rd Circuit Judge for Division 1. Governor Mike Parson appointed Ryan Horsman to fill the position through the remainder of the year.
Horsman won the August 2018 primary election for the position and ran unopposed in the November 2018 general election. He fills the vacancy created by the resignation of Judge Thomas N. Chapman, who now serves on the Western District Court of Appeals.
