Who is Tim Garrison? Former federal prosecutor could be next Missouri AG
Republicans have floated Tim Garrison, the former U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, as a potential candidate for Missouri’s next attorney general to replace Senator-elect Eric Schmitt.
Sources familiar with the appointment process said Missouri Gov. Mike Parson has interviewed Garrison for the position.
Garrison resigned from his position as U.S. attorney last year after President Joe Biden took office. He is a Marine Corps veteran who continues to serve in the Marine Corps Reserves. Before being appointed U.S. Attorney by former President Donald Trump in 2018, he worked as a federal prosecutor in Springfield.
He is a partner at the Husch Blackwell law firm in Springfield. While serving as U.S. Attorney, he led several initiatives to target violent crime, drug trafficking, and firearms offenses, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
