Who Will Represent U City in 2013?

Congressional redistricting may pit two incumbents against each other.

Congressional redistricting following the has changed how Missouri will be represented in the U.S. House of Representatives. Those changes are especially evident in the area.

Missouri's 3rd Congressional District has been effectively eliminated, making incumbent Rep. Russ Carnahan a representative without a district. Carnahan has indicated to Roll Call that he would again run in 2012 in whatever district his residence ended up in.

That district, if current maps are used, looks to be Missouri's 1st District. Rep. William Lacy Clay currently holds that seat and is running for reelection, meaning U City voters could be picking between two incumbents in November.
