Emanuel Cleaver has been in office for 20 years and was the mayor of KC before that. Wesley Bell (StL) is the freshman. Of all the reps in MO only Jason Smith, Eric Burlison and maybe Bob Onder are worth reelecting. The rest are rino trash. So I'm agreeing and St. Louis has been under dem admin since the end of ww2.
Missouri Democrats have little ability to prevent Republican lawmakers from enacting a new map. Unlike in Texas, where Democrats left the state for two weeks to delay a vote, Missouri Democrats’ absence would not prevent a quorum for business. And although Democrats could filibuster in the Senate, Republicans could use procedural maneuvers to shut that down, as they did earlier this year to pass a proposed constitutional amendment restricting abortion.
Republicans won a 220-215 House majority over Democrats in 2024, an outcome that aligned almost perfectly with the share of the vote won by the two parties in districts across the U.S., according to a recent Associated Press analysis. Although the overall outcome was close to neutral, the AP’s analysis shows that Democrats and Republicans each benefited from advantages in particular states stemming from the way districts were drawn.
St Louis is as bad as Kansas City, just sayin’.
