Missouri's governor is optimistic the GOP-controlled Legislature will approve his two priorities during the special session: congressional redistricting and changes to Missouri's initiative petition process. Governor Mike Kehoe (R) says initiative petition reform is needed to ensure that our state Constitution puts Missouri values first. The Missouri NAACP chapter is suing Governor Kehoe in an attempt to stop the special session on congressional redistricting. The NAACP says the special session is unconstitutional. State Rep.

Missouri lawmakers return to Jefferson City Wednesday for a special session on congressional redistricting and on amending the state's initiative petition process. Governor Mike Kehoe (R) announced the call Friday afternoon, and Democrats are furious. Missouri House Majority Floor Leader Alex Riley (R-Springfield) agrees with the governor's call.
