Missouri House Minority Leader Ashley Aune talks state GOP's rumored redistricting scheme with WCPT's Patti Vasquez

Earlier this month, Missouri House Minority Leader Ashley Aune (D-Kansas City) spoke with WCPT’s Patti Vasquez about the state GOP’s likely attempt to further gerrymander the state to benefit President Donald Trump next year.

Local reports from last month show that Gov. Mike Kehoe (R) looks more and more willing to accept the state Freedom Caucus’ request to a special session to address redistricting, just three years after the legislature approved new congressional maps. The proposed map that would be used next year projects to give Republicans seven out of the state’s eight House seats. Currently, Republicans control six out of the eight.

Aune noted that Democrats make up a superminority in the state, but it is still there job to make noise about issues like gerrymandering and Republicans overturning popular ballot initiatives.

“We ran for office knowing we were going to lose almost every single fight we got into, but it is our job to hold the line,” Aune said. “And so, we keep showing up, we keep fighting, we keep raising all of the alarm bells that we can to make sure that voters understand what’s happening, and in the meantime, we are working as hard as possible to flip enough seats to end that supermajority.”

1. Yep.....

Red states do not have a ballet to vote for the residence to approve or not.

California does, now that democracy.

Saw a mailer by a conservative group wherein they have the goal to mention democracy.

We will counter their bullshit mailer and everything else they lie and up shit about.
