GOP lawmakers propose new US House district lines

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Republican-led commissions responsible for redrawing Missouri’s congressional districts have proposed new boundaries. GOP lawmakers on Thursday released redrawn maps for the state’s eight U.S. House districts. The proposals still need to be passed by the full Legislature. Lawmakers will consider the proposals when they reconvene in January for their roughly five-month annual session. Legislative districts are redrawn every 10 years with new census data. State lawmakers make new U.S. House districts. Citizen commissions are responsible for drawing the state legislative districts.
