Governor Mike Kehoe signed House Bill (HB) 1 of the One Hundred Third General Assembly’s Second Extraordinary Session of the First Regular Session into law yesterday (Sunday). The bill, also known as the Missouri First Map, creates provisions for redistricting federal congressional seats, which eliminated ONE Democratic seat.

It was the main purpose behind the states special legislative session called by Kehoe, on the behest of President Donald Trump, on August 29, which cost Missouri taxpayers an extra $173,000.00.
