Emanuel Cleaver, with Republicans and a Libertarian launching bold challenges from all angles. The new district, stretching from urban cores to rural Jefferson City, was engineered to tilt the seat toward GOP candidates — including Army vet Brad Patty, business lawyer Brett Hueffmeier, Navy Reserve commander Taylor Burks, and state Sen. Rick Brattin. Cleaver, who’s held the seat since 2005 and championed affordable housing and federal investment, has called the redistricting “chaos.” Now, with Election Day looming, contenders are pitching contrasting visions: military discipline, border security, abortion restrictions, rural healthcare, and even AI policy — all while trying to bridge the divide between city and countryside voters in this newly reshaped battleground.
