Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe announced on Aug. 29 that he was calling state lawmakers back to the state Capitol for a special session tasked with redrawing the congressional district lines ahead of the 2026 election.

His announcement came just hours after fellow Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed into law Texas’s new congressional voting map, setting the stage for the GOP to gain five more seats in the House of Representatives.
