Latest News
Joan VonDras is in the news because Missouri is moving ahead with its 2026 House primary under a newly drawn congressional map, even though the map’s legal status is still being challenged. That dispute could affect which districts are used to nominate candidates in August and which districts are used in the November election. The situation leaves the race uncertain for candidates like VonDras.
