(From Gov. Mike Kehoe)Today, Governor Mike Kehoe announced that he has issued a proclamation to convene the General Assembly for a special session to enact legislation establishing updated congressional districts for the State of Missouri and amending the state’s initiative petition process.
The One Hundred Third General Assembly will convene for the Second Extraordinary Session of the First Regular Session in Jefferson City on Wednesday, September 3, 2025, at 12:00 p.m.
“Today, I am calling on the General Assembly to take action on congressional redistricting and initiative petition reform to ensure our districts and Constitution truly put Missouri values first,” said Governor Kehoe. “This is about clarity for voters and ownership of our future, and I hope the legislature will work together to pass our Missouri First Map and critically needed IP reform.”
To establish updated congressional districts for the State of Missouri, Governor Kehoe unveiled the Missouri First Map, a more compact, contiguous proposed map that was drawn and created by his team in Missouri to be considered by the General Assembly.
Highlights of the Missouri First Map:Splits fewer counties and municipalities than the current map.
Preserves 2 congressional districts as currently drawn.
Retains every current member of Missouri’s congressional delegation in their current districts.

“Missourians are more alike than we are different, and our Missouri values, across both sides of the aisle, are closer to each other than those of the extreme Left representation of New York, California, and Illinois,” said Governor Kehoe. “Missouri’s conservative, common-sense values should be truly represented at all levels of government, and the Missouri First Map delivers just that.”
Governor Kehoe’s call also includes enacting legislation to amend the state’s initiative petition process with legislation that does the following:
Bans foreign nationals from contributing to committees for or against a statewide ballot measure.
Establishes a criminal election offense for fraudulently signing or gathering signatures for a statewide ballot measure.
Provides that a statewide ballot measure be passed only if a majority of voters statewide and a majority of voters in each congressional district vote to adopt the proposed measure.
Requires that before a statewide ballot measure is certified for signatures to be gathered, there shall be an opportunity for public comment.
Requires that the full text of a statewide ballot measure be printed and available to voters at all election sites and polling places.
“For far too long, Missouri’s Constitution has been the victim of out-of-state special interests who deceive voters to pass out-of-touch policies,” said Governor Kehoe. “It's time we give voters a chance to protect our Constitution.”

Another pathetic trump lap dog from missouri rolling over like your backyard poodle. These spineless wonders of (lack of) humanity continue to defy logic and basic moral values just as their orange master demonstrates cruelty and total absence of empathy for others or the environment. That's why it's (maga) called a cult.
Why don't we just split Missouri up into 3-Parts and put walls around the first two cities, Kansas City and St. Louis to protect the rest of the people of Missouri.
1. Kansas City - (Top Crime and Murder Cities in the United States).
2. St. Louis - (Top Crime and Murder Cities in the United States).
3. The Rest of Missouri
Since Kansas City and St. Louis both have Democratic Mayors and Loyalist and are Ranked as two of the most Crime-Ridden and Murderous Cities in the Nation.
As well as the rest of the TOP 10 Crime-Ridden and Murderous Cities in the United States all have Democratic Mayors and Loyalist. WHY IS THAT - Democrats? Do Democrats Fail to hold their Constituents to the Laws of the Rest of the Country or is it because their Lack of ever accomplishing anything positive or for change in those areas - and if anyone Dares says this is a Republican, Maga, Racist, or Lack of Empathy thing to say - IT IS THE TRUTH, BACKED UP BY FACTS. Yet, the Leftist Liberal, Demon Democrats - Do Not want to Deal with the Truth and Facts or the Underlying Issues of those or any Democratically Ran States or Cities - their Plans are to Stick their Heads in the Sand and just keep saying - "Elect Us Again, Blame the Republicans, and We will Make Changes for the Better", yet this Never Happens and these Cities and States continue to maintain their Criminally and Murderous Activity - YEAR AFTER YEAR - WHY. Just go back and watch the Film - "National Lampoons - Vacation - 1983, just stopping to ask for Directions in St. Louis - and has his Wheels Stolen - Just Asking for Directions - this hasn't change today!!!
TRUTH AND FACTS - DEMOCRATS - Don't Hide from them - DEAL WITH THEM - and STOP LYING TO YOURSELVES...
Seriously PPPP, shall we now debate movies from the 80's that justify your obsession with dems? How about the TV series "Dallas" that gave us all a peek to look inside your environment destroying, oligarchy of republican rich bastards?.....who cares! Until you and your orange master figure it out that we're not going back to the "golden guilded age" your master so ignorantly desires, your rehashing the past is revealing you have no idea of the real destruction your cult is inflicting on America right now. Wake up and smell the roses PPPP.....check that, your master bulldozed those into oblivion and laid down an asphalt patio to entertain his minions and rich cult members. Sounds like he's doing the same thing to our economy and world standing as well.,
