Missouri investigates signature company tied to effort to challenge state’s congressional map.

Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway has launched an investigation into a signature-gathering company linked to the People Not Politicians PAC, which is pushing a referendum to challenge Missouri’s congressional map. The probe, announced November 19, 2025, focuses on whether the company followed state laws during the petition drive for the Missouri First initiative. A related lawsuit questions the validity of collected signatures. The outcome could determine if the referendum moves forward, affecting efforts to redraw district lines amid ongoing scrutiny of redistricting integrity and campaign practices.
