On Sunday, Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe signed the Missouri First maps into law.
The new map redraws the boundaries for Missouri's congressional seats, including breaking Kansas City into three separate districts.
"We believe this map best represents Missourians, and I appreciate the support and efforts of state legislators, our congressional delegation, and President Trump in getting this map to my desk," Gov. Kehoe, a Republican, said in a statement.
As the Missouri First maps have become a reality for residents in the new 4th Congressional District, representation is top of mind.
"I believe theyre taking away representation from people that are here in the urban area," said William Lona, a resident of Kansas City's Westside neighborhood. "This is a very unfair process."
