}}Gene McNary (born September 14, 1935) is an American politician.[1] Commissioner of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, Executive Director of the Missouri Gaming Commission, and County Executive of St. Louis County.[1] He has also been a Republican candidate for Governor and Senator in Missouri.[1]

Early life, education, and career

Gene McNary was born September 14, 1935 in Muncie, Indiana.[2] His Father was and oil jobber and his mother worked with him.[3] McNary earned both his bachelor's and law degrees from Indiana University.[4] After law school McNary decided to move to St. Louis, where he joined the Lashly, Lashly & Miller law firm.[3]

Early political career

In 1963, McNary began his career as a public servant by becoming assistant public defender.[3] In 1966, he decided to run for Prosecuting Attorney of St. Louis County.[3] He won the election and then went on to win reelection.[1] He then ran for County Executive of St. Louis County and won 4 terms in that position.[1] As county executive, he helped create a regional arts commission, merge the county and city hospitals into one regional facility, and create a regional convention and visitors bureau.[3] At the time he also served as the chairman of the East-West Gateway Coordinating Council.[3] In 1980 he was the Republican nominee for Senator.[5] He narrowly lost to incumbent Senator Thomas Eagleton with a 52.0% to a 47.2% margin.[5] In 1984, McNary lost the Republican primary for Governor to Attorney General John Ashcroft.[6] In 1989, McNary was appointed Commissioner of the Immigration and Naturalization Service by President George H.W. Bush.[3] He stayed in that position for over 3 years.[3]

Private practice and later political career

In 1994, McNary went back to St. Louis and joined the Danna law firm.[7] In 1998, he formed a law firm, McNary, Morris & Smalley, that specialized in immigration.[7] While in private practice, he decided to run to represent Missouri's 2nd congressional district in the United States House of Representatives.[6] The seat was open because the incumbent, Jim Talent, decided to run for governor. He narrowly lost the Republican primary to Todd Akin by about 50 votes.[6] In 2004, McNary ran to become St. Louis County Executive, a position vacated by Buzz Westfall's death.[8] He lost to Charlie Dooley with a margin of 45.8% to 52.9%.[8] In 2006, Governor Matt Blunt appointed McNary the Executive Director of the Missouri Gaming Commission.[6] McNary was in that position while St. Louis got two new casinos and while the $500 loss limit was ended.[9] McNary left his job at the Missouri Gaming Commission when two new Democratic appointees made it possible for him to be removed from his post.[9] He most recently decided to run for assessor of St. Louis County.[4] The Republican Central Committee of St. Louis County chose L.K. "Chip" Wood as the Republican nominee for the position, in a 23-21 vote.[10] McNary has five children and nine grandchildren.[4] One of his children is Missouri State Rep. Cole McNary.[11]
