JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe remains optimistic that the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals will stay in the Show-Me State.

Speaking exclusively with FOX4’s Missouri Capitol Bureau reporter Mark Zinn, Kehoe said he has weekly conversations with team owners and other parties interested in keeping both teams in Missouri.

“I’ve had great meetings with the ownership groups. Obviously, there's at least one county, potentially two counties, in the Kansas City area that are involved in that. And they understand what they need to do,” Kehoe said.

“We have a new county executive in Jackson County. I've spoken with county executive-elect LeVota, and he's very interested in making sure we do what we can to make sure the Chiefs stay a Missouri team, where they belong."
