Now governor, Parson also has become the face of mercy by pardoning more than 600 people in the past three years, more than any Missouri governor since the 1940s.
In Missouri, clemency requests are first screened by the Board of Probation and Parole, which makes confidential recommendations to the governor.
In Wisconsin, Evers has granted 1,111 pardons since taking office in 2019, surpassing the record of 943 set by Republican Gov.
Scott Walker, had disbanded the pardons board and issued no pardons during his eight years in office.
“For Governor Parson to look at me and to recognize that rehabilitation is real and not just stuff that somebody says, based your actions and not on your words, was huge," Galloway said.
