This petition is an endorsement of the attached proposed Congressional redistricting map for the state of Missouri.

The Congressional districts in every state must be re-drawn with each census, which gives Missouri a once-in-a-decade chance to change the dynamic of who Missouri is sending to Washington DC.

President Donald J Trump beat Vice President Joe Biden by more than 15% in the election of 2020 in Missouri, and outside of the currently drawn 1st Congressional District, Donald J Trump and the Missouri Republican Party won all remaining Show-Me State voting precincts by an average of 25%. 

Thus we believe the Congressional District should be drawn to best reflect that result, which likely would lead to the election of 7 Republicans and 1 Democrat.

The Missouri GOP Party Platform states in Article 1, Section 1, Paragraph 13, that "regaining control of both houses of Congress will reign in Washington and restore government to its proper place".  This endorses a Congressional map that sends as many Republicans to Congress as possible. 

We believe the map attached to this petition will accomplish this and will result in a federal Missouri delegation that is most likely to include 7 Republicans and 1 Democrat.

We believe that a vote taken against this "7-1" map is a failure to meet the intentions contained within Article 1 of the Missouri GOP Platform.

Specifically, the results in each of the Congressional District of the 2020 Presidential Election are as follows:

District 1: Biden +61

District 2: Trump +19

District 3: Trump +16

District 4: Trump +15

District 5: Trump +16

District 6: Trump +17

District 7: Trump +42

District 8: Trump +59

Therefore, in support of the Missouri GOP Platform and citizens across Missouri that want to fight back against the devastating policies of Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, we demand that the General Assembly and Governor Parson adopt the attached map as quickly as possible.
