“I’m excited to welcome Conner to my team and uplift the important work we are doing to help St. Louis thrive," said Mayor Jones. "From significant decreases in crime to historic funding in under-resourced neighborhoods, St. Louis is on a positive trajectory and I am confident in Conner’s ability to share the stories of our residents and departments as the city makes its comeback.”

In all of these roles, he has worked to break down complex political and legislative topics and communicate them to the public.

“The future of St. Louis is bright,” said Kerrigan. “I’m honored to be a part of Mayor Jones’ team as we continue the work of transforming the city of St. Louis and our entire region into a shining example of civic success.”
