Missouri voters will head to the polls this November 2026 to vote on Proposition A, a proposed congressional map. The redistricting plan seeks to move Warrensburg from the 4th Congressional District into the 5th District.
Why it matters
The proposed map would shift the political alignment of Warrensburg by moving it from a right-leaning district into the left-leaning 5th District. Lawmakers designed this new map in 2025 by expanding the 5th District into areas currently held by the 4th and 6th Districts.
The proposed map reconfigures districts by expanding the 5th District into the 4th and 6th Districts, following legal reviews of the proposal. Warrensburg is located 10 miles from Whiteman Air Force Base.
