Senate Districts Are Now Official
Missouri created 34 new state senatorial districts effective immediately after the bipartisan redistricting commission filed final maps. The split was 17 in the metro St. Louis and Kansas City areas and 17 in outstate Missouri. Democrats and Republicans debated potential shifts in Senate control, with predictions varying on whether the new lines will boost GOP gains or allow Democratic dominance if similar results to 1968 occur. Senators retain current district numbers, preventing term-ending displacements of two incumbents.
