Gov. Jay Nixon today appointed David A. Baird, of Maryville, as the new prosecuting attorney for Worth County; the appointment is effective Jan. 1. A vacancy for that position would have occurred on Jan. 1 because no candidates for prosecuting attorney appeared on the ballot for the November elections in Worth County.
Baird, a Democrat, is the outgoing prosecuting attorney for Nodaway County, a position he has held since 1981. He currently is the vice-president of the Missouri Association of Prosecuting Attorneys. Before the prosecuting attorney position in Nodaway County became full-time in 2006, Baird also operated a private law practice in Maryville from 1981 to 2006. He has served as an adjunct instructor of business law at Northwest Missouri State University since 1982. Baird received his undergraduate degree from the University of Notre Dame and his law degree from the University of Missouri School of Law.
David Baird will replace John Young, who was appointed by Governor Roy Blunt four years ago.
