For Immediate Release: Sept. 8, 2026

STATEMENT FROM MISSOURI SECRETARY OF STATE DENNY HOSKINS

The Missouri First Congressional Map stands as the Law of the Land. I promised I would never stop fighting for Missourians and I have gone to the mat on that. Today United States District Court, Eastern District Judge Stephen Clark issued a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO), mandating use of HB-1, the Missouri First Congressional Map. This victory halts a full-on constitutional crisis. It ensures the candidates Missourians nominated in the August primary election are the same candidates running in the same congressional districts they will vote on in the November general election. This is a win for Missouri—and a win for constitutional conservativism and I am proud to lead this charge.

Following the United States Supreme Court’s stay, the only governing court order in effect is from the Missouri Supreme Court. In accordance with that order, my Office is directing local election authorities to use the 2022 congressional map.

It took how long?
