Boone County GOP Women's event draws Onder, Martin
University of Missouri Police Chief Brian Weimer noted the challenge of managing a city of 55,000 people during the celebration intended to foster civil political discourse among local activists.
- On Saturday, Sept. 26, 2026, the Boone County Republican Women's Club hosted U.S. Rep. Bob Onder and state Rep. John Martin in Columbia at the Family Worship Center, featuring lunch and a silent auction.
- The gathering followed a U.S. Supreme Court ruling requiring Missouri to use its 2022 congressional map rather than a Republican-backed 2025 version; Onder criticized the decision as 'egregiously wrong.'
- Onder argued the election process had already begun when Gov. Mike Kehoe signed the 2025 map, noting 1.2 million primary voters cast ballots on Aug. 4 under that map.
- Campaign manager James Lawson urged attendees to mobilize voters, stating, 'This is a race of turnout,' while University of Missouri Police Chief Brian Weimer addressed policing challenges in the city of 55,000.
- Strategists noted that independent voters—a key voter group—currently hold an unfavorable view of both parties by 44%, fueling GOP pessimism regarding the upcoming midterms.
