Former U.S. House district in northeastern Missouri
Missouri's 9th congressional district was a US congressional district, dissolved in 2013, that last encompassed rural Northeast Missouri , the area known as "Little Dixie ," along with the larger towns of Columbia , Fulton , Kirksville and Union . Boone , Franklin , and a portion of St. Charles County comprise the highest voting centers of the mostly rural district. It was last represented by Republican Blaine Luetkemeyer .
Some of the most famous representatives to represent the 9th congressional district were Speaker of the House Champ Clark ;
James Broadhead , the first president of the American Bar Association; Clarence Cannon , chairman of the House Appropriations Committee ; Isaac Parker , a judge depicted in True Grit ; James Sidney Rollins , known as the "Father of the University of Missouri"; and Kenny Hulshof , unsuccessful candidate to become Governor of Missouri .
The district from 2003 to 2013
Removal following 2010 Census [ edit ]
The district no longer existed in 2013 after Missouri lost a congressional seat following the 2010 census . Initial redistricting maps placed most of the district north of the Missouri River in a redrawn 6th congressional district , and most of the rest of the district in a redrawn 3rd congressional district .[1] The last congressman from the old 9th, Luetkemeyer was subsequently elected to the 3rd.
George W. Bush defeated John Kerry 59% to 41% in this district in 2004. In 2008, Rep. Kenny Hulshof announced that he would seek the Republican nomination for Governor of Missouri . As a whole, the 9th district leaned towards the Republican Party, with the exception being Columbia, which often leans towards the Democratic Party.
