Missouri Governor Prepping to Cave to Pelosi, 7-1 GOP Redistricted Map in Doubt

Wendell Husebø 10 Feb 2022

Missouri Gov. Mike Parson (R) on Wednesday signaled his preparation to cave to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) effort to retain control of the House amid statewide redistricting.

Parson’s communications director, Kelli Jones, tweeted a threatening message to the Republican-controlled legislature that is internally debating whether to give Pelosi an extra House district to flaunt in the midterms. Establishment state Republican senators have filibustered the GOP favorable maps since Tuesday.

“Once again, it is the Missouri Senate’s women who restore common sense. It’s about time we stop tip toeing around a few men’s fragile egos,” Jones tweeted support for state Sen. Sandy Crawford’s (R) desire to block her party from favorably drawing redistricted maps.

Republicans have proposed drawing a 7-1 favorable map for the GOP, while establishment Republicans would prefer to draw favorable 6-2 maps that would benefit Democrats. Crawford’s excuse for blocking her fellow Republicans is that the 7-1 map would hurt rural communities.

“Voting for a 7-1 map doesn’t get you to heaven,” Crawford said on the Senate floor:

Comrade Briefers, governor Parson is demonstrative proof why the Republicans will continue to lose, and The Party stands a more-than-good chance of winning...
