November 6th has witnessed a plethora of significant events that have shaped the course of history across the globe. One of the most notable events in history on November 6th occurred in 1860, when Abraham Lincoln was elected as the 16th President of the United States.

This will be Malek’s first full term as treasurer, after taking his post as an appointment of Republican Gov. Mike Parson in January 2023.
