Republican politician serving as Attorney General of Missouri.
Case
In a September 25 emergency order, the U.S. Supreme Court said lower courts should not require Missouri to use its 2025 congressional map in November. Republican officials wanted the primary map kept; the Missouri Supreme Court and map opponents said the 2022 map governs.
Role at the time: Attorney General of Missouri, posting on her official @AGCHanaway account
Statement summary
Hanaway said Missouri would comply with Chief Judge Stephen Clark's order requiring the 2025 map in November. She said the State maintains that changing the congressional map between the primary and general elections is not feasible and is "profoundly unjust to Missouri voters."
“Missouri is prepared to follow and comply with Chief Judge Clark's order that binds the state to using the Missouri FIRST map for the November General Election. We maintain that changing the congressional map in between the primary and general elections is simply not feasible and profoundly unjust to Missouri voters.”
The reference point is use of the 2025 map in the 2026 general election. Hanaway argues that switching maps after the primary is unjust and infeasible, which defends using the 2025 map. The closest competing label, “Mixed or conditional”, loses because her compliance statement does not qualify that position.
