The 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Missouri were held on November 8, 2022, to elect the eight U.S. representatives from the state of Missouri, one from each of the state's congressional districts. The elections coincided with other elections to the House of Representatives, elections to the United States Senate, and various state and local elections.
This was the first House of Representatives elections held in Missouri following the 2020 redistricting cycle. The associated primary elections were held on August 2, 2022.[1][2]
Redistricting
[edit]Ahead of the 2022 elections, Missouri redrew its congressional districts as part of the 2020 redistricting cycle. This process was marked by controversy in the Missouri Legislature. On January 19, 2022, the Missouri House of Representatives passed a map with 6 Republican-leaning and 2 Democratic-leaning districts.[3] This map was opposed by the Conservative Caucus, a group of hard-line Republicans in the Missouri Senate. The Caucus supported a map with seven Republican-leaning districts. Senate Democrats also opposed the map because they wanted three Democratic-leaning districts.[4] Members of the Conservative Caucus filibustered to block the House map.[5] On March 24, Missouri senators reached a deal and passed a map with six Republican-leaning districts.[6] However, the Senate's version was rejected by the House.[7] The House passed a new map, again with six Republican-leaning districts, which passed the Senate on May 12. Missouri became the last state in the 2020 redistricting cycle to pass a congressional map.[8] Governor Mike Parson approved the map on May 18.[9]
