Troost Avenue in Kansas City was a historic dividing line during the era of racial segregation. Now, as Missouri Republicans look to pass a gerrymandered new congressional map, this avenue would once again split Kansas City.
Kansas Republicans already redrew Rep. Sharice Davids' district in 2022. But the state's sole Democratic Congress member held onto her seat anyways. So while Missouri Republicans push through their own gerrymander, some Kansas leaders want to try again.
- Missouri lawmakers move redistricting one step closer to reality. The Left screeches; the Right shrugs and ignores them.- After MANY years, Missouri Republicans are finally getting I-P reform done.- I'm seeing some stories on what people are calling a scam that some hotels are now doing: accusing you of smoking in the room and then charging you hundreds of dollars, even if you didn't light up.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
President Donald Trump and his staff have been pressuring Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe and GOP lawmakers to engage in mid-decade redistricting ahead of next year's elections. Missouri Republicans explicitly rejected a similar plan just three years ago, but Democrats expect those GOP lawmakers to change their mind. Democratic House Minority Leader Ashley Aune talks about the daunting challenge for her caucus during this special session, how Democrats plan to respond to the remapping plan, and whether it could actually boost her party's prospects in the Kansas City area.
Missouri Republican lawmakers say it's likely they'll have a special session to redraw the state's congressional lines and eliminate Rep. Emanuel Cleaver's seat. But could the effort backfire? Plus, we'll hear from Missouri state Rep. Michael Johnson of the Legislative Black Caucus about their plans to fight redistricting.
"Missouri Times" publisher Scott Faughn says there will be a special session on congressional redistricting in Missouri. Mr. Faughn appeared live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri" and tells listeners he believes the special session will be concurrent with the September veto session. He says the order has been sent from Washington and predicts Missouri's GOP-controlled Legislature will approve a 7-1 GOP map. Mr. Faughn says rural Missouri Republicans will privately tell you they don't like the idea of a special session. Mr. Faughn also tells listeners that former President Barack Obama and other Democrats who say things like this are a threat to democracy didn't say anything when Illinois Democrats gerrymandered congressional districts. Faughn also addressed the upcoming September veto session and tells listeners there won't be any veto overrides in September. He also says High Street in Jefferson City will be packed on the Tuesday evening before veto session with state lawmakers enjoying dinner:
A voter-approved mandate in Missouri for employers to provide paid sick leave is set to go away later this month after Republican lawmakers repealed it. St. Louis Public Radio's Jason Rosenbaum. Then, this week, a glacial outburst sent millions of gallons of water surging down the Mendenhall River that runs through Juneau, Alaska. Public Safety manager Sabrina Grubitz joins us. And, dermatologists are stunned by a new movement that falsely claims that sunscreen — one of the proven ways to prevent skin cancer — is ineffective and even dangerous.

Missouri lawmakers probably didn't think as the summer began that they'd likely return in the fall to redraw the state's eight congressional districts. The push from President Donald Trump could have huge consequences for Missouri politics.
On this week's episode of the Politically Speaking Hour on St. Louis on the Air, STLPR's Jason Rosenbaum takes a closer look at why Missouri Republicans keep going after voter-approved ballot initiatives. Rosenbaum talks with GOP political consultant David Barklage about the potential for consequences in 2026 for Missouri Republicans, particularly with a potential ballot item that would make it much more difficult to overturn voter-approved initiatives. And Rosenbaum also talks with STLPR's Sarah Kellogg about the potential for a constitutional amendment protecting paid sick leave for workers. Rosenbaum also talks with Democratic Sen. Patty Lewis of Kansas City about a potential redistricting special session.
The Missouri Senate Freedom Caucus is calling on Governor Mike Kehoe (R) to call a special session for congressional redistricting. They and U.S. Rep. Bob Onder (R-Lake St. Louis) want to see a 7-1 GOP congressional map. "Missouri Times" publisher Scott Faughn joined hosts Dr. Randy Tobler and Stephanie Bell live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri" this morning to discuss the issue. Mr. Faughn says Democrats didn't raise any objections when Illinois Democrats gerrymandered districts there. However, Faughn warns Missouri Republicans will not be as popular as the are now, in the future. He tells listeners that if Missouri Republicans redraw a 7-1 map, it could be 5-3 in the future, with Democrats picking up a few seats down the line:
President Donald Trump's so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” introduces some of the most significant changes to Medicaid in years. But advocates warn that new documentation requirements and restrictions on a key tax that helps fund the program could jeopardize health care access for Missourians. This episode unpacks how the sweeping budget package is fueling uncertainty for Missouri's budget and rural hospitals. STLPR health reporter Sarah Fentem joins the conversation.

Abortion is heading back to the ballot, after Missouri Republican lawmakers fell back on a little-used rule to shut down a Democratic filibuster and push through a ballot amendment to ban abortion again. They used the same maneuver to repeal a paid sick leave law — just months after Missouri voters approved both.

Finally, Missouri Republicans' super majority faces challenges as Democrats threaten to filibuster, stalling key public safety reforms and raising questions about GOP leadership.
Missouri Republicans have a new party leader: Former Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder. The Cape Girardeau native took the helm as chairman of the Missouri Republican Party earlier this month, and is trying to steer the state's dominant political party away from factionalism and electoral backsliding. On this episode of the Politically Speaking Hour on St. Louis on the Air, Kinder shares his vision for the state party – and how he plans to approach next year's midterm election cycle.
Last summer, Kansas City banned landlords from rejecting tenants solely because of how they pay their rent, their credit score, or previous evictions. Now, a Missouri Republican representative, who's a landlord himself, wants to overturn that law.
Republicans in the Missouri General Assembly want to place a board with gubernatorial appointees in charge of overseeing the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department. It's an idea with high-level support among police unions and Missouri's new governor, but fierce opposition from St. Louis' top elected officials.

On the latest episode of the Politically Speaking Hour on St. Louis on the Air, St. Louis Public Radio's Jason Rosenbaum talks with UMSL's Anita Manion about the 2024 election results in Missouri. GOP candidates won up and down the ballot. But abortion rights backers won a seismic victory with the passage of Amendment 3. Also joining the program is STLPR's Sarah Kellogg, Rachel Lippmann and Will Bauer.
U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley's about-face on right to work is seen by some as a welcome shift toward pro-labor policy — and by others as election year pandering. In this episode, St. Louis and Missouri based union representatives share their thoughts on the U.S. Senate race in Missouri ahead of the Nov. 5 election..
The Republican Secretary of State decertified Amendment 3 from the November ballot, but the Missouri Supreme Court later reinstated it. But did the court abide by state law? ...Casino owners are now pumping millions of dollars into a campaign to defeat Amendment 2 in November, a measure that would legalize sports betting in Missouri. ...Missouri Republicans in Congress sound the alarm about unreliable mail service from the USPS as mail-in absentee ballots are about to be sent out to voters. ...The Jefferson County Port Authority takes ownership of a port in Herculaneum that could eventually lead to revolutionary shipping container vessels ferrying cargo from the Panama Canal into the heart of Missouri with access to much of the nation's interior. ...The fallout continues from the Trump/Harris presidential debate. ...Former first lady Melania Trump says “there's more to the story” of the attempted assassination of her husband, the former president, with little information being released about the shooter's motive and the lack of security around Donald Trump at the Pennsylvania rally where he was shot two months ago. ...Our quote of the week was from the Anti-Defamation League regarding a graffiti mural depicting a Palestinian holding a grenade launcher in front of the word “GAZA.” It was painted on the flood wall south of the Gateway Arch during the “Paint Louis” graffiti event. ...Miami Dolphins star wide receiver, Tyreek Hill, is calling for a Miami-Dade police officer to be fired after the release of police bodycam video showing the officer taking Hill to the ground twice during a traffic stop as Hill was driving to the stadium for last week's game.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Missouri Republicans and Democrats wrapped up a historic primary on Tuesday night. Perhaps the most consequential result was St. Louis County Prosecutor Wesley Bell toppling Congresswoman Cori Bush — a big loss for St. Louis' progressive faction and a win for supporters of Israel. University of Missouri-St. Louis political science professor Anita Manion and STLPR's Sarah Kellogg join the “Politically Speaking Hour on St. Louis on the Air” to break down election results and what they mean for Missouri and St. Louis' political future.
Competitive primaries are driving the onslaught of negative political ads — particularly among Missouri Republicans. University of Missouri-Kansas City political scientist Dr. Beth Vonnahme analyzes the rhetoric this campaign season.
Attacking Kansas City and St. Louis has become standard practice for Missouri Republicans running for office. But that rhetoric, paired with actions they take in the legislature, has increasingly made it difficult for city leaders to get things done. Plus: Polling places have been decreasing across Kansas City due to safety concerns, but voter turnout hasn't.
Missouri Republicans in the state's 3rd Congressional District essentially have two former state senators to choose from to replace Blaine Luetkemeyer: Bob Onder and Kurt Schaefer. As St. Louis Public Radio's Jason Rosenbaum reports, the candidates are taking different approaches to the combative contest.
Today is day two of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, and U.S. Reps. Mark Alford (R-Raymore) and Jason Smith (R-Salem) are two of the many Missouri Republicans in Milwaukee. Congressman Alford, who is staying with Missouri's delegation, joined us live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri." He condemns Saturday's attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump and tells listeners there was a security lapse. Congressman Alford also discussed the tight security at the RNC convention in Milwaukee, telling listeners that that there are three perimeters in downtown Milwaukee that you have to get through, along with roadblocks and high fences. He says a number of members of Congress are staying at the hotel he's staying at . Congressman Alford is hopeful and optimistic about former President Trump winning in November. He tells listeners that U.S. Sens. Josh Hawley and Eric Schmitt (both R-Mo.) would both be an excellent attorney general, if former President Trump wins in November. Congressman Alford also emphasized the importance of growing the Republican Party and of a "big tent" philosophy. He says he'll continue to campaign for GOP members of Congress who represent swing districts. Congressman Alford's district includes Columbia north of Broadway as well as Centralia, Hallsville and Sturgeon:

Republican Secretary of State candidate Jamie Corley joins the show. Corley speaks with St. Louis Public Radio's Sarah Kellogg and Jason Rosenbaum about her candidacy, why she filed an initiative petition that would have reversed Missouri's abortion ban and why she thinks her position isn't out of line with Missouri Republicans.
In this third hour, we kick off with a fun game of X's and O's, testing your political knowledge and trivia while recapping the top headlines from the show. Then, we dive into the strategic maneuvers and pivotal decisions shaping Missouri and Illinois politics. Our interactive YouTube live chat poll asks: "Who will lose their supermajority first? Missouri Republicans or Illinois Democrats."
Former Missouri U.S. Sen. John Danforth witnessed lots changes to politics over his lifetime. Danforth, added his age 87, who served in the Senate from 1976 to 1995 and as Missouri's attorney general from 1969 to 1976, was at the cutting edge of turning Missouri from a state that voted for Democrats for statewide posts to a bellwether that was somewhat evenly divided between the parties. But Danforth is now decrying a force that helped Missouri Republicans take unprecedented power throughout state: Former President Donald Trump. “It's possible to be a Trump Republican. It's possible to be a Reagan Republican. But the two are not compatible. They're inconsistent,” Danforth said in an interview with St. Louis Public Radio. “It's really impossible to be both at the same time.”
Missouri's 2024 session is over. And in some respects, the divides between Missouri Republicans, especially in the Senate, were more noteworthy than the things that were actually passed. STLPR's Sarah Kellogg joins The Politically Speaking Hour to talk about what passed — and why the supermajority era may be coming to an end. Later in the show, STLPR's Rachel Lippmann discussed St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones' State of the City address.

Missouri Republicans could play a key role in legalizing abortion later this year. Even though many GOP voters don't agree with their party on abortion rights, they may still support other candidates on the ballot. Plus: Adopted from an orphanage in Russia, Anna McCune is pouring her heart into making sure Kansas City's kids don't experience what she did growing up.
