Latest News
Wayne Russell is in the news because Missouri is moving ahead with its Aug. 4 House primary under a disputed new congressional map. The legal fight over the map is still unresolved, and that could affect whether the districts used to nominate candidates in August are the same ones used in the November election. The situation leaves the race and district lines uncertain for candidates like Russell.
