Overview

• Governor Mike Kehoe’s office confirms he is reviewing options to redraw Missouri’s eight congressional districts.
• State Senator Cindy O’Laughlin says the effort aims to align representation with Missouri’s Christian conservative majority.
• Any map change would require a governor-called special session of the Missouri legislature to enact out-of-cycle redistricting.
• Republicans hold six of the state’s eight House seats and plan to target the Democratic-held district of Rep. Emanuel Cleaver.
• The effort mirrors President Trump’s directive to Texas and reflects a broader Republican push to expand its House majority.
