I was one of the plaintiffs in today's 4-3 Missouri Supreme Court decision in Luther v Hoskins that will (for now) allow the gerrymandered congressional maps that attempts to dilute the voices of Kansas Citians to stay in place. While we lost this case, this is not the end.

My statement below:

“This narrow defeat at the Missouri Supreme Court is a clear setback and disappointment, but not the end of Missourians fighting back for more fair representation. This map so clearly is meant to dilute the voices of Kansas Citians, the voices of my neighbors. I continue to believe that democracies should be in service of outcomes that are best for the people within them, not a particular party. I will continue to support the legal efforts of others and work on the ground with grassroots organizations working to overturn these unfair maps.”
