Analysis: Numbers of Mo. Senate districts matter

(AP) ? Decisions about new boundaries for Missouri Senate districts will help determine the number of Republicans and Democrats in the chamber. A bipartisan redistricting commission this past week reached a tentative agreement over Missouri's 34 state Senate districts. [...] Sen. Jane Cunningham, a St. Louis County Republican who currently represents the 7th District, was placed into the 26th District with Republican Sen. Brian Nieves. Cunningham ? who was elected in 2008 and must win election this year to remain in the Senate ? has limited options under the redistricting plan. [...] the redistricting plan could offer a temporary boost for Kansas City and Missouri Democrats. Among the people waiting will be state Rep. Jeanie Riddle, who announced plans to run for the seat when an earlier redistricting plan created a similar district but gave it an odd number. EDITOR'S NOTE ? Chris Blank has covered state government and politics for The Associated Press since 2005.
