Congressman Has a Redistricting Warning for Fellow Missouri Senate Republicans

(Missourinet) Missouri’s senior member of Congress wants the Missouri Senate to approve a Congressional redistricting map that likely keeps the delegation at six seats favoring Republicans and 2 Democrat-leaning sets. Northern Missouri Congressman Sam Graves, a Republican, says the game being played by some of his fellow Republicans in Jefferson City favoring a seven-one map could backfire. The Conservative Caucus has been using a week-long procedural delay or filibuster to postpone a vote on the plan.
