Some of the replies have let me know that the district on the left, drawn by the Louisiana State Legislature, was made less contiguous than it could've been to protect incumbent Rep. Julia Letlow. Very interesting!

@KristenRSheafer the supreme courtโ€™s ruling today is shameful and bigoted. millions of lgbt americans have struggled so much already, and this now gives extremists and profiteers an unprecedented license to discriminate for years to come. we must fight this at every turn.

I pushed Republican leaders in Jeff City to pass a 7-1 GOP map. ย Rather than fight, they compromised and now Missouri could tip the House to Democrats. As Governor, I'll be fighting for conservative principles and not the Democrats' priorities.
