redistricting

Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway is expecting additional challenges to the state's congressional districts and the outcome of the Nov. 3 election. However, she said her office will defend the use of the 2022 map, which is "the law now in Missouri" following rulings by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Opponents of the 2025 redistricting plan are vastly outspending and appear more organized than proponents, who may already be looking to the 2027 legislative session to redraw Missouri's congressional lines.

Missouri Proposition A will determine whether a map designed to give Republicans another U.S. House seat takes effect in 2028. While the campaign to defeat the map has drawn millions of dollars in donations, there's no organized effort to pass it.

In the Nov. 3 election, Missouri voters can weigh in on Amendments 3, 6, 7 and 8, and Proposition A. The measures include an abortion ban, a referendum on a redrawn congressional map and protections to voter-proposed ballot measures.

Midterm elections are just over a week away, and a lot is at stake for both Republicans and Democrats in Missouri. Several key measures and races appearing on the ballot could have big impacts on the future of the state's political ecosystem.

A Democrat, a Republican and a Libertarian are running to fill the seat vacated by the retiring Sam Graves, which covers most of the upper portion of Missouri.

After the Missouri and U.S. Supreme Courts ruled that Missourians must vote with maps drawn in 2022, U.S. Rep. Mark Alford is running for reelection in the same district he won with more than 71% of the vote. He'll face three challengers, including Democrat Jordan Herrera.

Missouri redrew its Congressional map to give Trump an election victory. The plan’s legal collapse was "a stress test for the rule of law," said former Missouri Supreme Court justice Michael Wolff.

Missourians will decide on Nov. 3 whether to approve Republicans' gerrymandered congressional map, or reject it entirely. Gov. Mike Kehoe said this week that the redistricting push was still worthwhile, even though Rep. Emanuel Cleaver II will likely win another term and the saga resulted in protracted litigation.

Missouri lawmakers redrew the state’s congressional lines in 2025, in an attempt to oust Kansas City Rep. Emanuel Cleaver II and add a Republican seat to the U.S. House. But after a successful petition campaign, the new map was blocked from taking effect for this election, and voters in November will decide whether to approve or reject it.

With voting already underway, Missouri GOP leaders are now organizing efforts for a “yes” vote on Proposition A, a referendum on the 2025 redistricting map, and a “no” vote on Amendment 6, which would restrict the ability of lawmakers to change measures enacted by initiative petition.
