Stigall will succeed longtime Rep. Sam Graves, who is retiring. Several incumbents in Missouri's congressional districts kept their seats in Tuesday's election, save for District 2 incumbent Republican Ann Wagner, who was defeated by Democrat Fred Wellman.

Election Day is Tuesday. Voters in Kansas and Missouri will weigh in on important ballot issues such as abortion and redistricting, and decide competitive races for U.S. Senate, governor and more.

This is the third time the high court has stymied efforts to implement a map aimed at ousting Democratic Congressman Emanuel Cleaver II for this November's election.

The 8th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that using 2022 congressional lines for the upcoming election violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution.

On Nov. 3, voters in Kansas and Missouri will decide multiple consequential ballot issues — including on abortion access and gerrymandering. They'll also vote for U.S. Senate, U.S. House, and other offices from the governor down to the local level.

Missouri's Secretary of State informed local election authorities on Thursday to use the 2022 map, a reversal of his previous directions to election clerks.

The U.S. Supreme Court has halted a temporary restraining order issued this week that only allowed Secretary of State Denny Hoskins to use a Trump-backed map lawmakers drew in 2025.

Missouri's candidates are set for the November general election under a redrawn congressional map. But with Kansas City's three districts carved to specifically benefit Republicans, even longtime U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver II faces a tough race.

While voters in Missouri and Kansas overwhelmingly shot down ballot measures championed by Republicans, they also largely chose conservative, Trump-backed candidates to run against Democrats in November’s general election.

Stigall, a conservative radio talk show host, had previously called President Donald Trump a “political hazard” before changing his stance. The district's Democratic nominee faces headwinds in what is still considered a safe seat for the GOP.
