Nicole Marie Galloway (née Rogge; born June 13, 1982)[1] is an American accountant and politician who served as the state auditor of Missouri from 2015 to 2023. She was the Democratic nominee for Governor of Missouri in the 2020 election, losing to incumbent Republican Mike Parson.[2]
Galloway was appointed to the office of State Auditor by Governor Jay Nixon on April 14, 2015, following the death of Tom Schweich in February 2015.[3] She was elected to a full term in the 2018 election.[4] In 2018, following the electoral defeat of U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill to Josh Hawley, Galloway became both the only female state officeholder and the only Democratic statewide elected official in Missouri.[5]
On June 4, 2021, Galloway announced that she would not run for reelection as State Auditor in the 2022 election.[6] She is the most recent Democrat to hold statewide office in Missouri.
