Elections in Missouri |
---|
The 2012 United States House of Representatives elections in Missouri were held on Tuesday, November 6, 2012 and elected the eight U.S. Representatives from the state of Missouri, a loss of one seat following the 2010 United States Census. The elections coincided with the elections of other federal and state offices, including a quadrennial presidential election and an election to the U.S. Senate.

Redistricting
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 eradicates the former 3rd district, which has 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.[2]
District 1
Democrat William Lacy Clay, Jr., who has represented Missouri's 1st congressional district since 2001, will run for re-election. Fellow U.S. Representative Russ Carnahan, part of whose current district was drawn into the 1st district, challenged Clay in the Democratic primary on August 7, 2012 and lost heavily.[5] Francis Slay, the mayor of St. Louis, did not run and has endorsed Clay.[6] Robyn Hamlin (R), ran against W. Lacy Clay, Jr. in 2010 and is running again for the seat in 2012.
Results
Party | Candidate | Votes | % | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Democratic | Lacy Clay (Incumbent)' | 267,927 | 78.7 | |
Republican | Robyn Hamlyn | 60,832 | 17.9 | |
Libertarian | Robb E. Cunningham | 11,824 | 3.5 | |
Total votes | 340,583 | 100.0 |

District 2
Republican Todd Akin, who has represented Missouri's 2nd congressional district since 2001, will run for the U.S. Senate rather than seek re-election.[8] Randy Jotte, an emergency room physician and former member of the Webster Groves City Council,[9] and Ann Wagner, a former U.S. Ambassador to Luxembourg and former Missouri Republican Party chairwoman,[10] are running for the Republican nomination to succeed Akin. Wagner has ruled out switching to a campaign for the U.S. Senate.[11] Former state representative Joe Smith also may run in the 2nd district.[12] Republican state senator Jane Cunningham, who had previously indicated she would run, said in July 2011 that she would instead seek re-election to the state Senate.[13] Ed Martin, a lawyer who unsuccessfully ran for Congress in the 3rd district in 2010, had decided to run,[14] but dropped his bid in January 2012 in order to run for state attorney general.[15]
Democrat Russ Carnahan, part of whose current 3rd district was drawn into the 2nd district, will run for re-election in the 1st district.[5]
Results
Party | Candidate | Votes | % | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Republican | Ann Wagner | 236,971 | 60.1 | |
Democratic | Glenn Koenen | 146,272 | 37.1 | |

Republican Blaine Luetkemeyer will run in the reconfigured 3rd district, which includes most of the 9th district he has represented since 2009.[16] Democrat Eric C. Mayer a small business owner from Camdenton has filed to run.[17] Former state representative Cynthia Davis may challenge Luetkemeyer as a candidate of the Constitution Party.[18]

District 4
Republican Vicky Hartzler, who has represented the 4th district since January 2011, will seek re-election. In redistricting, all of Boone, Cooper, Howard, and Randolph counties, and parts of Audrain County, were added to the 4th district; while Cole, Lafayette, Ray, and Saline counties were removed from the district.[19] Cass County Prosecuting Attorney Teresa Hensley,[20] will seek the Democratic nomination.

District 5
Missouri's 5th Congressional district is perhaps the one most complicated by redistricting, and the legal challenges that have ensued.[21] It is expected that Democratic incumbent Emanuel Cleaver will seek another term. Republican Jerry Nolte, who at first announced his intention to run in the 6th district will now run in the 5th.[22] Nolte's residence lies on the court-contested border of the two districts. Fellow Republican Jacob Turk, who unsuccessfully ran against Cleaver in 2008 and 2010 is also a candidate in 2012. Jason Greene is a Republican newcomer born and raised in the Kansas City area who currently teaches and coaches within the Raytown community.
Results
Party | Candidate | Votes | % | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Democratic | Emmanuel Cleaver II (Incumbent) | 200,290 | 60.5 | |
Republican | Jacob Turk | 122,149 | 36.9 | |
Libertarian | Randall (Randy) Langkraehr | 8,497 | 2.6 | |

District 6
A total of eight people filed to run for the Missouri 6th congressional district. Due to realignment following the 2010 U.S. Census, the district now spans most of the northern portion of the state, from St. Joseph to Kirksville, and also including most of the state's portion of the Kansas City Metropolitan Area north of the Missouri River. Incumbent Sam Graves, who has represented the district since 2001,[23] won the Republican primary against Bob Gough and Christopher Ryan. Kyle Yarber won the Democratic primary against Ronald W. Harris, W.A. (Bill) Hedge and Ted Rights.[24] Russ Lee Monchil is the Libertarian nominee.[25]
