 Missouri's political landscape simmers with tension over redistricting as the group People Not Politicians submitted over 300,000 signatures on December 9 for a 2026 ballot referendum to repeal the new congressional map passed in House Bill 1, which Governor Mike Kehoe signed in September, according to Ballotpedia reports. Secretary of State Denny Hoskins has vowed to protect the map, refusing to freeze it until signatures are certified, a stance KCUR notes has drawn criticism for advancing Republican priorities amid broader national trends in partisan election oversight. Meanwhile, the 2025 legislative session adjourned sine die, leaving active bills like SB72 on illegal aliens and SB71 for public safety tuition incentives in limbo as prefiling begins for 2026, per LegiScan.

On the economic front, business expansions signal growth. AECI Utility Solutions broke ground on a 50,000-square-foot distribution center in Boonville, creating jobs and bolstering energy infrastructure, as praised by Governor Kehoe and Missouri Partnership CEO Subash Alias. The Department of Economic Development released over $33 million in federal SSBCI 2.0 funds to the Missouri Technology Corporation for startups and small business loans, with Justine PETERSEN aiding lending efforts. Beckwood Press also expanded in Fenton, adding at least 10 jobs via the Missouri Works Program.

Communities see steady progress in education and infrastructure. Meramec Valley R-III School District allocated final Proposition 1 bond funds for a Riverbend Middle School track and Pacific High School turf field, enhancing physical education spaces. Delta Regional Authority invested $4.2 million in projects like workforce centers and flood mitigation across Missouri towns, creating hundreds of jobs.

No major weather events have disrupted the state recently.

Looking Ahead, the 2026 legislative session kicks off in January with prefiled bills on utilities, health care, and education, while redistricting court battles and signature reviews loom large, alongside Empower Missouri's advocacy preview.
