Missouri Gov. Mike Parson meets with Republican House legislative leaders

New Republican Missouri Gov. Mike Parson is starting off his time in the governor's mansion by talking with state lawmakers and local elected officials.
 
Parson met Tuesday with Republican House legislative leaders and a bipartisan group of Missouri mayors.
 
Parson appears to be setting himself apart from former Gov. Eric Greitens, who resigned Friday amid allegations of personal and political misconduct.
 
Greitens was a self-described political outsider who didn't shy away from conflict and often clashed with members of his own party.
 
But Parson has a long record of serving as an elected official.   

Kansas City Mayor Sly James says he worked with Parson when he was a lawmaker and described him as reasonable and willing to listen.  
 
Republican House Speaker Pro Tem Elijah Haahr says Parson likely will be much more involved with the Legislature.
