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.”
Post from the attorney general's official account, published the evening Chief Judge Stephen Clark issued his temporary restraining order.
Why we used this label
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.
