Eric Robert Greitens is an American politician, businessman, and former United States Navy SEAL. A member of the Republican Party, he served as the 56th governor of Missouri from January 2017 until his resignation in June 2018.

Later, after being a White House fellow, Greitens founded a nonprofit organization, The Mission Continues, to benefit veterans. He lost the Republican primary to Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, who won the general election. He commanded a unit targeting al-Qaeda, and was awarded a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart.
