US Edition4th Lawsuit Challenges Missouri’s New Congressional Maps Just as Kehoe Signs Them Into Law
The Missouri First Map reduces Democratic seats from two to one in the state’s delegation and was developed with input from President Trump’s political team, officials said.
- On Sunday, September 28th, Governor Mike Kehoe signed House Bill 1, the Missouri First Map, finalizing new congressional district boundaries for Missouri's federal seats.
- On August 29, Governor Kehoe convened the General Assembly for a special session that led to passage on September 12 of the Missouri First Map and House Joint Resolution 3.
- Kansas City's districts were redrawn to split the city and its central business district among three districts after a 10-day process, creating a 4th District stretching 200 miles to Fort Leonard Wood, Pulaski County; lawsuits in Jackson County challenge transparency and authority.
- With just over a year before the 2026 midterms, the map zeroes in on Emanuel Cleaver, U.S. Representative , likely flipping his seat red and giving Republicans seven of eight seats.
- The law is scheduled to take effect Dec. 11 unless blocked by the courts or a referendum, and opponents can freeze the map with 110,000 valid petition signatures before December 11 amid national GOP redistricting efforts including Texas.
