AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoRedistricting Showdown: The U.S. Supreme Court blocked Missouri from using the Trump-backed congressional map for the November election, clearing the way for the state to use the 2022 districts instead—ending a months-long legal whiplash that left voters and local clerks unsure which ballots would count. State Court Fallout: Missouri’s Supreme Court also found Secretary of State Denny Hoskins in contempt for defying its order, though he later “purged” himself by directing clerks to use the 2022 map; the court’s written order and any penalties are still pending. Local Election Impact: Kansas City voters described the chaos as “bizarre” and “ridiculous,” with some worried the scramble could depress turnout. Candidate Stakes: In the 5th District, U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver and state Sen. Rick Brattin both reacted to the ruling, with Brattin warning it could disenfranchise primary voters if maps can change between elections. Healthcare Refunds: The White House announced $500 Obamacare overcharge refunds for nearly 1 million Americans in 30 states, including Missouri. Gas Prices: Fuel reports showed pockets of lower prices statewide in the week ending Sept. 5, including $3.52 regular in Laclede County and $3.56 regular in Jackson County. Civic & Community: A Tunnels to Towers 9/11 memorial exhibit opened in Jefferson City for the 25-year mark, and the American Royal debuted its new Wyandotte County barns and Exhibition Hall.
