MOGOP Applauds Court For Striking Down Clean Missouri

JEFFERSON CITY, MO – Earlier today, a Cole County judge struck down Clean Missouri’s attempts to radically redistrict Missouri to benefit Democrats. The Missouri Republican Party applauds and supports the decision, and released the following statement:

“From the beginning, Clean Missouri has used the guise of ethics reform and sleek marketing to distract Missourians from their real aim: radically redistricting Missouri to solely benefit liberal Democrats,” said Chris Nuelle, spokesperson for the Missouri Republican Party.

Nuelle continued, “Clean Missouri would create non-contiguous districts and districts that stretch along highways in order to meet their fairness rule. People in rural districts would be represented by people living in urban districts and vice versa. Additionally, Clean Missouri was endorsed by George Soros, far-left groups, and is funded by ‘dark money’ – there’s simply nothing ‘clean’ about it. The Missouri Republican Party applauds the court for throwing out Clean Missouri’s subversive attempt to completely change Missouri’s legislative districts to make up for Democrats’ repeated losses at the ballot box, and we hope that any further attempts to trick Missourians like this are thrown out as well.”
