About the No on 3 campaign
In 2018, a transpartisan coalition of organizations and grassroots leaders qualified and passed a legislative reform ballot measure to make Missouri’s General Assembly more accountable to voters. Despite the overwhelming mandate for fair maps and fair redistricting, politicians in Jefferson City have been working on their own self-serving plan to undo the will of Missouri voters. The politicians’ plan to replace voter-approved reforms with an extreme gerrymandering plan will be on the November 2020 ballot, and the Clean Missouri coalition will be spearheading an aggressive Vote No campaign.
