Several state politicians to attend Missouri State Fair Governor’s Ham Breakfast
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
The Missouri State Fair will host the annual Governor’s Ham Breakfast Thursday morning, with multiple politicians from across the state expected to attend ahead of the midterm elections.
The breakfast will be in the NUCOR Director’s Pavilion at 8 a.m. at the Missouri State Fair in Sedalia. Governor Mike Kehoe, Lt. Governor David Wasinger, state politicians, farm families, and community leaders are expected to attend to celebrate Missouri agriculture.
State politicians are preparing for the midterm elections in November, as the redrawn state congressional map will remain in effect.
A Cole County judge sided with Secretary of State Denny Hoskins and Republicans Wednesday over a vote on whether the maps should be placed on the ballot. The state argued that state and federal law prohibit a referendum on a map, that it’s too late to change the districts voters are tied to for the November election and that Missouri lawmakers were within their rights to redistrict mid-decade.
The judge also sided with Hoskins and republicans to reject an initiative petition looking to check the General Assembly’s power to change voter-approved policy. The judge wrote that the initiative petition was overly broad, violating Missouri’s provision that ballot measures address only one subject.
