A new congressional map was passed by the Missouri General Assembly on April 27, 2011. [2] The map was vetoed by Democratic Governor Jay Nixon on April 30, [3] but Nixon's veto was overridden by the General Assembly on May 4, making the plan law. [4] The map effectively eradicated the former 3rd district, which had been represented by Democrat Russ Carnahan since 2005, splitting it between the districts represented by Republicans Blaine Luetkemeyer and Todd Akin and Democrat William Lacy Clay, Jr. The bulk of the old 9th district became the new 3rd district.
